Reports that proper protocol had not been followed by prison employees fanned the flames, but according to Barr, in the book obtained by Fox News Digital, there was no evidence of foul play.<\/p>\n<p>He said no one entered Epstein&#8217;s tier where his cell was located, according to video evidence.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/bill-barr-book-mueller-wrong-person-to-investigate-russia-probe-glaring-omission\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>IN NEW BOOK, BILL BARR SAYS MUELLER WAS \u2018THE WRONG PERSON TO INVESTIGATE\u2019 RUSSIA; PROBE HAD \u2018GLARING OMISSION\u2019<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The New York City medical examiner had conducted an autopsy and ruled that Epstein killed himself by hanging.

Additionally, the two corrections officers on duty that night who were supposed to be monitoring Epstein were instead sleeping and using the internet while on the job \u2013 they later pleaded guilty after being accused of covering up their misdeeds by falsifying records.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/apps-products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As for Epstein,&#8221; Barr wrote, &#8220;it was no consolation to me that an odious criminal was dead.
