Informi Details
William Barr and Jeffrey Epstein
AG Bill Barr released a statement immediately after Epstein was found dead in his jail cell. He described Epstein's death as an 'apparent suicide' despite suspicious circumstances, which he later called 'a perfect storm of screw-ups'. Barr's father was the headmaster of Dalton school who hired Epstein as a teacher, and Barr's former law-firm represented Epstein when he got the 'sweetheart deal' for his sex-crimes in Florida.
