The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is mentioned in connection to investigations and reviews related to Jeffrey Epstein's death and the handling of his case. Specifically, the DOJ's OIG investigated the Federal Bureau of Prison's (BOP) custody, care, and supervision of Jeffrey Epstein while he was detained at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York.
The Office of the Inspector General appears in documents related to investigations into the circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death while in custody. The OIG's investigation focused on the conduct of BOP personnel and identified numerous failures by MCC New York staff. Additionally, log books were handed over to the OIG. Recent news indicates ongoing scrutiny, with requests for the DOJ OIG to audit the Department's compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act and investigate the FBI's failure to investigate allegations against Epstein in the 1990s.
Key Highlights
- •The DOJ OIG investigated the BOP's handling of Jeffrey Epstein's custody at the MCC New York, revealing significant failures by staff.
- •The OIG's investigation did not uncover evidence contradicting the FBI's determination that there was no criminality in connection with Epstein's death.
- •There are recent bipartisan calls for the DOJ OIG to audit the DOJ's compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act and investigate the FBI's initial response to allegations against Epstein.
