Jeffrey Epstein Suicide: 'There Are A Lot Of Questions' On Joy Reid's Panel
Early Saturday morning, news broke that Jeffrey Epstein was dead of an apparent suicide. But, as reporters began digging, more questions than answers have come out. The panel on AM Joy talked about why there are so many holes in the suicide story that it was far from clear cut — the biggest one being that there may not have been anywhere for Epstein to actually hang himself. So how does one die by hanging in their cell if they are alone?
GOSK: Listen, Joy, I imagine they will have to put out some kind of statement over the course of today. Whether you're going to get definitive answers on those questions specifically will be a big issue. The important thing to remember about this facility is it's the metropolitan facility here in Manhattan. It is not an official-run or state-run facility. It's a federal-run facility, Department of Justice. You would also expect to hear from the Department of Justice on this. You can imagine there will be an investigation launched. The big question, how is it that someone who they suspected may have tried to take his own life just a matter of weeks ago was actually able to take his own life last night.
REID: Can we say this again? So this facility is run by the Department of Justice, meaning William Barr's Department of Justice?
