Justitsminister William Barr sier det var alvorlige uregelmæssigheder knyttet til Jeffrey Epsteins død på sin celle. Barr lover at komme til bunds i dødsfallet.

Hans forgænger, Matthew Whitaker, går endnu længer. Han sier amerikanerne ikke kommer tilat have tillid til myndighederne hvis de ikke får vide sandheden.

Amerikanerne har i 2,5 år fået at vide at deres president kan takke Putin for embetet. Nu viste deg sig at det hele var løgn.

Samtidig ved amerikanerne at Hillary Clinton slap tiltale for en meget alvorlige forbrydelse: Hensynløs omgang med offentlige dokumenter.

Langt ud over Republikanernes rækker har det opstået tvil om systemets retfærdighed.

Det er denne kløft Whitaker påpeger er blevet større med Epsteins død. Få amerikanere tror han tog sit eget liv. De husker scenen fra Gudfaren: Hvem kom til ham først?

“Well the transparency is the key. That’s what builds confidence for the American people. If you don’t give all of the facts—essentially line by line as to what we looked into, who we talked to, what we found, what we saw, what was violated if anything … the facts—the confidence won’t be there,” Whitaker told Fox & Friends in an appearance on Aug. 12.

Whitaker peger på at det samme fængsel på Manhatten havde narkogudfaren El Chapo i månedsvis uden at der skete noget.

Whitaker highlighted the fact that Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was held at the same facility as Epstein without incident before he was transferred, adding that “something doesn’t add up” about Epstein’s case.

“I was surprised to see they could hold [El Chapo] safely without incident and then have Epstein twice, I mean once an alleged failed attempt at suicide and now a successful attempt,” Whitaker said. “The questions surrounding this, something doesn’t add up and we need full transparency and we need the answers on this.”
