Summary

In the Justice Department Inspector General's report released Tuesday, it was revealed that the jail holding convicted sex trafficker and financier Jeffrey Epstein was plagued with significant negligence and misconduct issues that ultimately allowed Epstein to commit suicide while imprisoned. While ruled a suicide by the FBI, the report aimed to further understand the systematic issues that led a powerful prisoner on suicide watch to gain the opportunity and materials to kill themselves. Fox News Senior National Correspondent Rich Edson joins the podcast to explain the revelations in the IG's report, how "gross negligence" at Manhattan Correctional Complex led to Epstein's suicide, and why the suspicions around the circumstances of his death are not likely to go away after this report.
