NEW YORK, NY. (THECOUNT) — At least 20 subpoenas have been issued to staff members of the Metropolitan Correctional Center where Jeffrey Epstein was held at the time of his suicide.
According to sources, 20 staff members at MCC were hit with a number of subpoenas last week.

The subpoenas come after the apparent suicide of Epstein on MCC’s watch. The disgraced financier was taken off suicide watch shortly before his death.
In an attempt to piece together the hours leading up to the convicted pedophile’s death, the subpoenas were partly aimed at lieutenants who oversaw the cell block where Epstein was held, CNN’s source said.
Part of what these officers could be asked about is the checks that were supposed to happen on Epstein in 30-minute intervals. Guards failed to check on Epstein and reportedly doctored their own logbook instead of conducting the patrols every half hour.

By all appearances, these subpoenas hint that Attorney General William Barr is on the warpath.
And it looks like he isn’t just going for a slap on the wrist, either.
