Congressman calls for new Epstein death investigation after 'troubling' bombshell report

The death of late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein must be re-investigated in the wake of a "troubling" new report, according to a congressman over the weekend.

A new report on Saturday revealed that a prison guard responsible for checking in Epstein was tied to a "mysterious cash deposit" and an incriminating Google search. The New York Post dropped an article called, "Epstein prison guard googled him minutes before body found — and made mysterious deposit before pedophile’s suicide: DOJ," in which the outlet reported, "One of Jeffrey Epstein’s prison guards googled the sex predator minutes before he was found dead — and also made a mysterious $5,000 cash deposit 10 days before the predator’s jail-cell suicide, new Department of Justice documents reveal."

That report struck a chord with Dem lawmaker Ted Lieu, who demanded a new investigation to determine the cause of Epstein's death.

"The number of troubling 'coincidences' keeps piling up regarding the death of Jeffrey Epstein," he wrote on X. "The investigation into Epstein’s death must be reopened and conducted by an independent entity, instead of by people who work under a giant banner of Trump’s face."
