Attorney General William Barr decries 'serious irregularities' in Epstein's detention, vows full investigation.

Attorney General William Barr on Monday blasted corrections officials and vowed to investigate the “serious irregularities” uncovered at the federal prison in Manhattan where accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was held and found dead Saturday morning.

Barr's criticism came amid complaints about squalid, rat-infested cells and as union officials charge warnings about overworked employees at the understaffed facility went unheeded.

“I was appalled, and indeed, the whole department was – and frankly, angry – to learn of MCC’s failure to adequately secure this prisoner,” Barr said Monday.

“We are now learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation.”

He added: “The FBI and the Office of the Inspector General are doing just that.

We will get to the bottom of what happened and there will be accountability.”
Since the prison is under control of the DOJ, he can start with himself.
Then he can ask his boss why the head of the Bureau Of Prisons is one of the many federal agencies operating under the leadership of an acting director, and the deputy position is vacant.
