U.S. Attorney General William Barr is said to have personally questioned Jeffrey Epstein’s final cellmate at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center following the deceased moneyman’s suicide.
The New York Daily News reported Monday that Barr questioned Efrain “Stone” Reyes, 51, who was moved out of Epstein’s cell just one day prior to Epstein taking his own life on August 10, 2019.
“Barr wanted to know about what was going on in there. Barr told him, ‘I owe you a favor, thank you for telling us the truth,’” an unnamed source told the
Daily News.
“He said [Barr] was a good guy. Barr was nice about it. He just wanted to know if [inmates] were being mistreated. What [Reyes] believed happened. Just basically that. He told them everything. He cooperated with Barr,” the source added.
Those who knew convicted sexual offender Jeffrey Epstein in prison say he was a target for harassment while incarcerated, leading him to become increasingly depressed in his final days.
Multi-millionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein was suicidal in prison overs fears the government wanted him dead as fellow inmates extorted cash from him, it has been claimed. Epstein s former prison associates have revealed the conditions which the sex trafficker faced inside before he was found dead in his New York jail cell in August last year. The convicted sex offender became suicidal after being shaken down by other criminals and being abused by staff at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, a report says according to The Sun. Prison guards made Epstein sleep on the floor and served him burnt food which was infested with bugs , it has been alleged.
