JUST IN: Attorney General Bill Barr on Jeffrey Epstein: "I was appalled to learn that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead early this morning from an apparent suicide while in federal custody. Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered."
The apparent suicide of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein immediately spawned allegations of prison negligence and even murder – and no wonder, given the confusing, scarce data available.
▲Suicide (non-)watch: What we know about Jeffrey Epstein’s death...and what we don’t (via RT)
If Epstein’s death is still under investigation, and no one can explain yet how he killed himself, why is mainstream media reporting it definitively as a suicide? Even the FBI is calling it an “apparent suicide.”
Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell on Saturday morning, with law enforcement sources telling multiple media outlets his death was a suicide. The 66-year-old millionaire had been held in custody since his arrest last month on charges of child sex trafficking and conspiracy.
Puzzlingly, Epstein had supposedly been placed on suicide watch since he was found “injured and in a fetal position” in the cell two weeks ago, after a suspected hanging attempt. “Logistically speaking how does a person hang himself in solitary confinement under suicide watch?”asked conservative commentator Matt Walsh.
President Trump used his Twitter account Saturday to spread a baseless conspiracy theory about the death of Jeffrey Epstein.
周六，特朗普总统利用他的推特账号，散布了一个关于杰弗里·爱泼斯坦之死的毫无根据的阴谋论。
Trump’s Justice Department announced that Epstein, who was being held in a federal corrections facility, died by “apparent suicide.”
特朗普的司法部宣布，被关押在联邦监狱的爱泼斯坦死于“明显的自杀”。
But Trump appeared to disregard his administration’s statement, instead retweeting a message from conservative actor and comedian Terrence K. Williams, who suggested that Epstein’s death might be tied to former president Bill Clinton. Williams also questioned how Epstein could have died by suicide if he had been on suicide watch.
Every reporter in America should ask you whether you ordered it.
每一个美国记者都应该来问你，是否是你下命令策划了一切。

特朗普转发了关于爱泼斯坦的阴谋论，称克林顿与爱泼斯坦之死有关。
Donald, this actually doesn’t help your case.
唐纳德，这对你的案子没有帮助。
一些主流媒体的意见领袖以及他们的追随者也发表了“阴谋论”看法。
Authorities couldn’t keep Epstein alive by putting him under 24 hour surveillance? How convenient for a lot of rich and powerful men.
监狱不能通过24小时的监视来确保爱泼斯坦活着吗？（在监狱自杀）对很多有钱有势的人来说是多么方便啊。
Jeffrey Epstein, accused sex trafficker, dies by suicide. NO WAY!!! HE WAS ALLOWED TO DO THIS OR MURDERED. HE WAS ON SUICIDEWATCH. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TRULY POWERFUL PEOPLE BECOME NERVOUS.
I’m sorry but it’s extraordinarily fishy that a prisoner with this high of a profile, who had already allegedly attempted suicide before, was able to kill himself with success in a federal prison.
