FBI raid Jeffrey Epstein’s private island following death

From Morning Report, 7:40 am on 14 August 2019

The FBI reportedly raided financier Jeffrey Epstein's private island off the coast of St. Thomas, days after he died in prison.

Epstein was found dead in an apparent suicide two days earlier while being held in federal jail on charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking.

The union for the officers at the prison where he was found dead is blaming staff shortages for the lack of supervision.
