was the only way that he could do it because there s no place to hang anything. right. so there are a lot of questions, and people in prison understand this looks and sounds very, very fishy and we just getting preliminary reports from the prison. danny, you raised the question earlier in the hour about just all the questions that need to be asked. this is somebody who not only is high profile, who not only knew a lot of high profile people, that something just came out of court that name high-profile people, who was friends with the current president of the united states, who flew previous presidents of the united states around on his plane, who is alleged to have trafficked girls to a member of the royal family of britain. this is on the same level like a bill cosby. this is a famous person who is now in prison. he knows a lot about a lot of people, and as you said earlier, his only out at this point would be to talk about those people, so he s in this very vulnerable
why? his difficult adjustments to jail, his depression, his leaked outlook on his criminal case and his previous suicide attempt. i can say from a mississippi jail because we know how who rid the conditio horrid the conditions are in a mississippi jail. this was run by the department of justice. how was this allowed to happen? somehow mr. epstein allowed or set up to take his own life. danny, you had someone who attempted to be remanded to his own home to await trial, which sounds absurd, but this is someone who did not want to be locked up before a pending trial, who is very well known, who is a multi-decades sex offender. there is so much here that says watch this person. there is so much here that says
released a statement confirming that epstein was found unresponsive in his manhattan cell at approximately 6:30 this morning. he was transported to a hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries and subsequently pronounced dead by hospital officials. multiple people familiar with the investigation said that epstein was not currently on suicide watch at the time of his death, even though just last month the millionaire financier was found injured in his cell after what was called a possible suicide attempt. also new this hour, a cnn law enforcement official told nbc news that the fbi is investigating the incident as an abundance of caution. however, the official added that there is nothing at this point to suggest foul play. joining me now, msnbc contribute tore danny c eva llos and civil activist lisa bloom. when i read the statement that came out about how he was found, what s missing from that is how. they didn t say they found him hanging in his cell, they didn t
about themselves, make them feel like they were prostitutes when they thought they were just going over to give a man a massage, their lives ultimately shattered, their careers derailed, several of them who were models just gave up modelling entirely because they were so disgusted. that s why we ve been cooperating with the criminal authorities first, because there s really nothing in it for them as victims, they just wanted to get justice against him, and now that he s deceased, we can go ahead and file the civil case against his case. in the civil case we get discovery. discovery is the first thing that happens in a case when you file it, which is you get to get information. i can find out documents, i can talk to witnesses, i can force people to come in and answer questions under oath. there is a lot more information to be made available and that is definitely what the victims want. that s a good question. let s say, danny, in the case of what lisa bloom just said, if discovery ha
victims come out and you see a superseding indictment with new, fresh charges against jeffrey epstein. and i think southern district of new york prosecutors might want that, because these are charges that stem back many, many years, and it can be a challenge to prove those beyond a reasonable doubt. do we know if they ve been successful having new victims come forward? they haven t announced any, but you certainly see a private attorney saying there were additional people, even while he was on work release. remember, when you re on work release and you re given these plums to get out of jail, you re essentially still in custody. they ve just set it up so you re not costing the government housing you in jail. but you re still technically in custody when you re out on work release. danny, you re going to have a lot of work to do over the next week. you ll be pretty busy. get ready. i have a feeling. danny c eva llos, stick around. up next, we re talking 2020 and a new candidate p
