Attorney General William Barr sharply criticized the management of the federal jail in Manhattan where the financier Jeffrey Epstein was found dead on Saturday.

In a speech at a conference in New Orleans for the Grand Lodge Fraternal Order of Police, above, Mr. Barr vowed to “get to the bottom” of what happened.

Mr. Epstein, who was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, had been removed from suicide watch. We learned that only one of the two people guarding him during the hours of his apparent suicide normally worked as a correctional officer at the understaffed jail.

Shortly after his death, it seemed that anyone with 10 fingers and a Twitter account was providing, promoting or questioning a conspiracy theory. Among them: President Trump, Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York and MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough.
