The controversial ex-cop who was the only ‘no’ in the Epstein vote

Both Democrats and Republicans readied for a unanimous vote this morning to pass a bill that would force a release of the case files relating to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

‘It was undoubtedly suicide’: Former US Attorney General squashes Epstein conspiracy theories

Former US Attorney General Bill Barr has outlined the reasons he believes Jeffrey Epstein almost certainly took his own life, undercutting unfounded theories that swirled after the child sex offender's death during a deposition with House investigators.
