ALERT.

MINUTES AGO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

REPORTING.

THE FEDERAL JAIL GUARDS ARE

SUSPECTED OF FALSIFYING LAWS AND

TREAT TO SHOW THEY WERE CHECKING

ON INMATES AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S

UNIT EVERY HALF HOUR.

THE AP SOURCE, SINCE THEY

WEREN'T ACTUALLY CHECKING ON HIM

AND LOGS ARE FALSIFIED.

SURVEILLANCE VIDEO REBOOT --

REVIEWED AFTER HIS DEATH THEY

SAID THEY NEVER MADE CHECKS IN

THE LOG.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WORKING TO

INDEPENDENTLY SUPPORT THAT.

MORE ON THIS RAPIDLY UNFOLDING

INVESTIGATION.

>> TO DATE ATTORNEY GENERAL

WILLIAM BARR TEMPORARILY

ASSIGNED WARDEN TO THE

CORRECTIONAL CENTER WHERE

JEFFREY EPSTEIN DIED OF AN

APPARENT SUICIDE.

HE ALSO PLACED THE TWO GUARDS

ASSIGNED TO HIS UNIT ON

ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE PENDING THE

OUTCOME OF THE INVESTIGATION BY

THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND

THE FBI.

THE MOVE COMES A DAY AFTER

SERIOUS IRREGULARITIES AND NCC

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS ONE

OF THE TWO GUARDS WAS A

SUBSTITUTE AND NOT THE

CORRECTIONAL OFFICER.

THE UNION REPRESENTING THE GUARD

TELLS FOX NEWS EPSTEIN'S DEATH

IS THE FAULT OF BUREAU PRISONS

VERSUS SYSTEMIC UNDERSTAFFING

AND OVERWORKED GUARDS.

THIS HAS NEW YORK POST REPORTS

EPSTEIN HUNG HIMSELF SATURDAY

WITH A BED SHEET WRAPPED AROUND

HIS NECK AND TO THE TOP OF A

BUNK BED IN HIS JAIL CELL.

LEANING TOWARDS THE FLOOR AND

STRANGLING HIMSELF.

THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION TO

EPSTEIN'S ALLEGED

SEX TRAFFICKING NETWORK ON THE

COCONSPIRATORS LIKE EPSTEIN'S

FORMER GIRLFRIEND.

AND MAXWELL, ONE OF EPSTEIN'S

ACCUSERS CALLS MAXWELL A PRIMARY

COCONSPIRATOR AND A MADAM WHO

USED TO PROCURE UNDERAGE GIRLS

FOR ACTIVITIES.

THIS DAY AFTER FBI AGENTS RAIDED

X -- EPSTEIN'S I LENT HIS HOME

ON A U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WHERE

HE ALLEGEDLY TRAPPED U.S. GIRLS.

PRESIDENT TRUMP DEFENDED HIS

RETWEET OF CONSPIRACY THEORY

COMPLYING -- IMPLYING THE

CLINTONS HAD SOMETHING TO DO

WITH EPSTEIN'S DEATH.

>> "INAUDIBLE."

>> YOU HAVE TO ASK DID

BILL CLINTON GO TO THE ISLAND?

THAT IS THE QUESTION.

I WANT A FULL INVESTIGATION.

AND THAT IS WHAT I ABSOLUTELY

HAVE DEMANDED.

>> LAWYERS FOR EPSTEIN'S

ACCUSERS ASKED A FEDERAL JUDGE

WITH NONPROSECUTION AGREEMENT

ESPECIALLY OFFERING IMMUNITY TO

COCONSPIRATORS.

SHANNON.

>> Shannon: ALL RIGHT, BRIAN,

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I WANT TO BRING AN FORMER ACTIVE

MATT WHITAKER TO TALK ABOUT

THIS.

FIRST YOUR REACTION TO THAT

REPORT FROM THE AP THAT THESE

LAWS MAY HAVE BEEN FALSIFIED AND

VIDEO SHOWS THEY WERE NOT

ACTUALLY A THERAPIST BUT THERE

WAS A LOG AND THEY WERE CHECKING

ON PEOPLE.

>> IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY HOUR, WE

LEARN NEW ACTS THAT RAISE

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT ARE

UNANSWERED.

SO I'M SURE THAT RIGHT NOW

BILL BARR IS JUST WAITING FOR

THE NEXT SHOE TO DROP TO FIND

OUT WHAT ELSE HAPPENED AT THIS

FACILITY.

BUT IT IS REALLY CONCERNING.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK

EVERYBODY NEEDS TO REMEMBER,

THIS CASE IS NOT OVER JUST

BECAUSE OF THIS.

WE JUST HAD A RAID, SEARCH

WARRANT EXECUTED ON THE COMPOUND

THAT WILL GENERATE TONS OF

EVIDENCE THAT WILL BE SORTED

THROUGH.

NOT ONLY TURN OUT TO BE MORE

VICTIMS, BUT WE COULD ALSO HAVE

MORE COCONSPIRATORS.

I THINK THAT IS A BIG DEAL FOR

THESE VICTIMS IS TO GET SOME

JUSTICE AND TO MAKE SURE THAT

THIS CASE ISN'T OVER.

THAT THE PROSECUTORS CONTINUED

TO PRESS FORWARD WITH THE

CHARGES AS TO WHOEVER IS

CULPABLE.

THESE CRIMES ARE INEXCUSABLE,

AND WE HAVE TO HAVE THEM FULLY

PROSECUTED.

>> Shannon: I THINK FOR PUBLIC

CONFIDENCE, PEOPLE WANT TO SEE

THIS CASE THROUGH AND HEAR HER

ALLEGED COCONSPIRATORS AND HAVE

THEM ANSWER.

>> THE GOOD NEWS REPORTED WHEN

BILL BARR HEARD ABOUT THIS AND

SAID I WILL HAVE THE FBI LOOK

INTO THIS IN ADDITION TO THE

INSPECTOR GENERAL

MICHAEL HOROWITZ, WHAT PEOPLE

NEED TO UNDERSTAND, WHIRL WITH A

PUBLIC REPORT AND TRANSPARENCY.

AND HE HAS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE

WITH THE G.O.P., BUREAU OF

PRISONS, SO THE PERFECT PERSON

TO TELL THE STORY WHERE THIS

SYSTEMIC FAILURES OCCURRED AND

TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DON'T

HAPPEN AGAIN.

BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY

INEXCUSABLE AND DISAPPOINTING

BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE CASES

AND THE VICTIMS WILL GET

JUSTICE.

>> Shannon: A LOT OF PEOPLE

HAVE THE SAME QUESTIONS.

TOWN HALL UNDER THE HEADLINE

TODAY REPORTS SHRIEKING HEARD

FROM EPSTEIN'S JAIL, WIRED --

AND HE SAYS, SHOULDN'T EXTRA

ATTENTION HAVE BEEN PAID TO

ARGUABLY THE MOST FEDERAL

AWAITING TRIAL?

ESPECIALLY SOMEONE WHO EITHER

TRY TO KILL HIMSELF OR SUFFERED

AN ASSAULT WHILE BEHIND BARS.

AND ESPECIALLY SOMEONE WHO

POTENTIALLY WHO LIKELY HAD

SIGNIFICANT DIRT ON A WHOLE

CABAL OF WEALTHY AND POWERFUL

PEOPLE.

I THINK THAT IS THE NUMBER ONE

QUESTION FOR PEOPLE.

HOW WAS THIS GUY, LISTEN IF YOU

ARE SAYING YOU CAN'T COVER EVERY

PRISON THE WAY YOU WANT TO, THIS

GUY WAS NUMBER ONE IN CUSTODY

AWAITING TRIAL MOST HIGH-PROFILE

POTENTIALLY DIRT ON EVERYONE,

YOU KNOW, INMATE, HOW DOES THIS

HAPPEN?

>> THEY ALREADY SEGREGATED INTO

THE SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT OR WHAT

IS KNOWN AS THE SHOE.

HE SHOULD HAVE HAD EXTRA

ATTENTION.

ALL THE PROTOCOLS IN THE

CHECKLIST THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN

FOLLOWED AND ESPECIALLY IN A

DEFENDANT LIKE HIM AND HIS

SITUATION AND THE CRIMES HE'S

ACCUSED OF, THERE IS REALLY NO

REASON THAT THESE FAILURES

SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

THE FACT, AS YOU POINTED OUT,

THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENHANCED

PROCEDURES BECAUSE OF THE

PREVIOUS ATTEMPT OR ASSAULT,

MOST LIKELY IN AN ATTEMPT.

THERE WERE FAILURES BUT THERE

SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE ENHANCED

PROCEDURES, REALLY INEXCUSABLE

HOW WE FIND OURSELVES HERE

TODAY.

>> Shannon: THEA

ATTORNEY GENERAL SAID "WE WILL

GET TO THE BOTTOM OF WHAT HAPPEN

AND THERE WILL BE

ACCOUNTABILITY.

AND THE PROFESSOR ON ANOTHER

NETWORK SAID THIS ABOUT THE

ATTORNEY GENERAL.

>> IT REALLY IS IMPORTANT FOR

THE VICTIMS AND TO RESTORE

PROCESS AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE

SYSTEM THAT HE RECUSE HIMSELF

FROM THIS INVESTIGATION AND LET

IT BE HANDLED IN A WAY THAT WILL

RESTORE CONFIDENCE AND DO

JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIM.

>> Shannon: YOU TALK ABOUT THE

FACT THE INSPECTOR GENERAL ORAL

BITS WILL BE HANDLING THIS.

WILL THAT BE ENOUGH OF A

SITUATION TO TRUST PEOPLE?

>> THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND,

THAT IS NOT A HOT TAKE AND NOT

EVEN A REASONABLE TAKE.

THAT IS SOMEONE WHO OBVIOUSLY, A

PURELY POLITICAL TAKE AND NO

REASON FOR BILL BARR TO RECUSE

HIMSELF IN THIS CASE.

IN FACT WE WANT THE END

ATTORNEY GENERAL TO BE INVOLVED

BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY PERSON

TO BRING THE KIND OF CHANGE TO B

TO BRING THE KIND OF CHANGE TO P

TO BE NECESSARY AFTER WE FIND

OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO.

>> Shannon: ANY IDEA HOW LONG

THE A REPORT FOR THE

INSPECTOR GENERAL WILL TAKE?

THESE ARE NOT OVERNIGHT.

>> THEY ARE NOT OVERNIGHT AND

2016 ELECTION REPORT TO KAMAL IT

SEEMS LIKE IT TOOK FOREVER AND

NOW WAITING ON ANOTHER REPORT TO

COME OUT.

WE HEARD IN SEPTEMBER BUT IN

THIS CASE A DISCRETE SET OF

FACTS THE LARGE STAFF OF OVER

400 INVESTIGATORS.

SO I WOULD FULLY EXPECT THEY

WOULD GET THIS DONE REALLY

QUICKLY.

BUT IT SEEMS THEY WILL WANT TO

BE PRECISE AND THEY WILL WANT TO

BE COMPLETE.

THAT WILL TAKE SOME TIME.

BUT BECAUSE IT IS A FINITE AND

DISCRETE SET OF FACTS, I THINK

THEY CAN DO IT QUICKER THAN

MAYBE SOME OF THESE OTHER

HOPELESS AS THEY HAVE BEEN
