Whitney lays out the contradictory mainstream reports about the timeline of Epstein's death and raises concerns about Bill Barr overseeing the investigation given his history stonewalling the Church Committee and pardoning Iran-Contra figures.
- Conflicting reports on Epstein's death: CNN reported he was taken to hospital between 3-4 AM for cardiac arrest, while New York Times said he hung himself on suicide watch around 7:30 AM.
- Epstein had claimed someone tried to murder him weeks before and expressed fear of being killed, adding another layer to the conflicting narratives.
- The FBI will investigate Epstein's death at a Justice Department facility, but Bill Barr as Attorney General will be influential in the outcome.
- Bill Barr started his career at the CIA's legal office and helped stonewall the Church Committee in the late 1970s when they investigated CIA covert operations.
- Barr also helped secure pardons for Iran-Contra criminals when he was Attorney General under George Bush Senior in the early 1990s.
