New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) led public calls Saturday demanding answers after disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell due to an apparent suicide.
"We need answers. Lots of them," Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, tweeted.
Multiple media outlets reported Saturday that Epstein's body was discovered in his jail cell around 7:30 a.m. at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
Many immediately began questioning the details surrounding his death after Epstein was reportedly put on suicide watch in late July following a possible suicide attempt.
"He reportedly tried to kill himself two weeks ago. And is allowed to finish the job now? Bull----," MSNBC host Joe Scarborough tweeted.
The MCC did not immediately return requests for comment from The Hill on Saturday morning.
Epstein was in prison awaiting trial over charges of sexually trafficking minors, to which he had pleaded not guilty.
His suicide comes a day after testimony was released from one of his alleged victims that unveiled the inner workings of his alleged operation.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who sits on the Judiciary Committee, called on the panel's chairman, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), to prioritize investigating the circumstances around Epstein's death over other probes being carried out by the committee.
"Chairman @RepJerryNadler should prioritize a Judiciary investigation into how Jeffrey Epstein died in federal custody (in Nadler's own neighborhood!) over the Kavanaugh confirmation (which already happened), and the Russia hoax (which never happened)," Gaetz tweeted.
Epstein served 13 months in jail about 10 years ago after reaching a deal with prosecutors that has been panned as too lenient. He was arrested in July and charged with trafficking underage girls from 2002 to 2005.

She is Really naive.
They would have no problem offing her or at least destroying her career somehow.
“Hillary Clinton, please pick up the red phone”
aoc is about to met “privately” by a few members of the clinton crime family with a “strong suggestion” she cease this line of thought.
Go ask the Maxwells you flaming idiot.
Epstein is tied to a lot of men far wealthier and far more powerful than the Clintons. With a lot more to lose if their activities got out. I mean honestly, if evidence did come out that Epstein did procure under-aged girls for Bill Clinton is there anyone out there who really would be shocked or surprised?
Rats investigating Rats? Expect more dark and unexposed tunnels never to see any sunlight of truth.
Sounds like this is grounds for dismissing for cause large swaths of folks in correction, the FBI, and DOJ for utter incompetence, e.g. failure to preserve evidence.
Thatll get her going, I hope
Been to twitland? They already are. They’re hashtagging ‘trumpbodycount’. Saying he was killed because either trump or one of trumps kids names was going to come out...
Arkancide . . . I knew it was coming . . . he was found hanging from a rope after he shot himself in the head having just drunk poison and subsequently landing on the point of a knife which slit his throat.
She doesnt have the brains to think or suspect anything. Shes being told to suspect something. Once she googled suspect for the meaning she made her announcement
Unless (as someone posed on another thread) it was a switch.
Or Ma Windsor.
There you go...
Somebody in the prison system is getting a hella cash infusion to their offshore account.
When it comes to suspicious deaths, I’ll defer to Scarborough’s expertise in the matter. I suspect Lori Klausutis would concur were she available for comment.
No she is doing what her masters want, she is selling the Russia (read Trump) did it.
Yep. Case closed
One, the surveillance equipment will be found to have been malfunctioning, what a coincidence.
Two, they waited just long enough to get typical "footage" in the preceding hours and then that will be presented as "look, nothing out of the ordinary..." They need to seize all recordings because I'll bet you the recordings showing nothing are really copies of some earlier nothing.
