New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said that the death of financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was being held in New York on sex trafficking charges, was “way too convenient.”
“This is way too convenient. This makes no sense. He’s one of the prominent prisoners in America, at that point,” de Blasio said during an appearance on Fox Business on Aug. 14, echoing comments he made in Iowa on Monday. “He had either attempted suicide previously or been assaulted. Either way, it is the same reality. He needed to be watched 24 hours a day.”
