their former saudi backed allies call it a coup and launch airstrikes. i'm rebecca ritter's welcome to the program will make his in the u.s. a calling for answers following the death in prison of disgraced financier geoffrey upstate has been widespread skepticism as to how he could have taken his own life in a high security federal prison just weeks after an apparent previous suicide attempt of staying was jailed last month on sex trafficking charges that could have implicated numerous wealthy and powerful people the f.b.i. is now investigating his death. the floor now is intense the reaction beyond painful and afraid to come forward sooner than maybe he one of the other girls i feel really guilty to lose. the death by an apparent suicide of disgraced billionaire financier geoffrey epstein has prompted 3 separate legal body is to

open investigations into his death the alleged victims have also expressed outrage at not being able to confront him in court. i can tell you that on behalf of the victims i represented there's a certain amount of shock and disbelief that the federal authorities could allow something like this to occur under their watch we find it very hard to believe that he would be allowed to commit suicide especially when he was on suicide watch from just a few days ago the 66 year old was found dead in a new york city jail cell on saturday the high powered investor was accused of having sexually abused and polished women and girls as young as 14 on suggests that his palm beach villa case has been fueled by epstein's connection to not only public figures including former u.s. presidents bill clinton as well as current president donald trump but also british

royal prince andrew charges were already brought against him in 2008 a controversial plea deal spares him time in prison the media frenzy surrounding the case shows no sign of calming down there are several unanswered questions at this time mr epstein had previously been on suicide watch following another incident a couple of weeks ago in which he sustained injuries to his neck the authorities were already investigating how he came to receive those injuries at that point in time he had been placed on suicide watch but the associated press reporting today. that mr epstein had been removed from suicide watch before he was found unresponsive his death came. amid explosive allegations involving prominent leaders and american businessmen and women as we just heard questions have mounting since the death about the future of the investigation about the circumstances surrounding abstains death put it come as man has been looking into that call hi thanks for

joining me so what more can you tell us about the investigation and what might happen now in these questions about the future of the investigation what we know now is that his death his apparent suicide does not prevent this investigation from going forward and officials are are promising that they will continue to look into it in fact one of the attorneys that's involved in the case said yesterday that epstein was facing a conspiracy charge so that means that there could potentially be other people involved in these alleged crimes that means others could still be charged maybe for legs alleged sex trafficking for helping to recruit these under underage girls and so his his ring of influence may continue to find more alleged victims as well what many want to know is will this investigation lead to the indictment of any of these kind of big name figures that we know were were involved with epstein that knew him that would travel on his private planes for example as we saw in the piece it extends from fashion to business always to politics even presidents and ex

presidents weed so the legal process it will continue this investigation will continue but of course it will be without the potential testimony of jeffrey epstein that could have been crucial and very useful if he had testified maybe in some kind of deal with prosecutors that could have led to more evidence against other people that may have been involved and given that a lot more people could be implicated and that's really led to a lot of conspiracy theories surrounding this unfortunately that's right and you know this suicide has really angered a lot of people from the prosecutors involved here the victims the victims' families all the way up to the attorney general william barr even the f.b.i. taking the rare step now of launching an investigation into this alleged. suicide and so the circumstances surrounding it people really want to know what happened here i mean there's a few questions why did the jail take him off of suicide watch for example he had some marks around his neck a couple of weeks earlier that could have indicated a potential suicide attempt how was this allowed to happen by the jail itself when

this is a jail that's used to housing high profile suspects from paul metaphor to is currently in this jail. the the very high profile mexican criminal he was held there as well while he was awaiting his trial so this is a place that's used to so housing high profile suspects it's something that does make it seem a bit suspicious unfortunately as you mentioned wild theories now surrounding the death of epstein including some being tweeted by the president himself and we saw this on the u.s. president donald trump's twitter account and here he is retreating a rumor about the death saying that epstein had information on bill clinton and now he's dead so essentially trying to link former president bill clinton who did in fact know epstein but has denied any other connection to him to to this death so there's no evidence of that and this is coming from a comedian who's also trump supporter but you know we've seen the president retreating and kind of peddling in conspiracy theories before well what about the alleged victims here i mean they must be really disappointed that this case is not

going to go as planned yet disappointed i think is one word to put i mean this is the 2nd time now that epstein's victims alleged victims will not get their day in court and that's what many of them want to mean as we heard charges were filed in 2008 in florida that led to a plea deal so there was no trial no chance for any testimony or for the for the women involved here to have their say one accuser now who says she was raped by obscene while she was in high school she had this statement following his suicide she said we have to live with the scars of his actions for the rest of our lives while he will never face the consequences of the crimes that he committed congressman thanks very much for that update. now to some of the other stories making news around the world more than 1000 hectares of land have been destroyed by a fire on the spanish island of gran canaria around 400 residents and holiday makers have been evacuated from the area. emergency services
