Fox News Tucker Carlson Segment
January 25, 2023
Summary
Tucker Carlson: So you would think as the Attorney General (referring to Bill Barr) his first concern would
be finding out what actually happened but instead his first concern was worried that the public might jump
to unapproved conclusions about what happened. And in some ways, Bill Barr was right to worry. Many
Americans did not believe that Jeffrey Epstein had killed himself given the strange circumstances of his
death—stranger than most people understood at the time. It was going to take a sustained public relations
campaign to convince Americans that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, but Bill Barr was willing to make the
effort. 2 days later, he flew to New Orleans, gave a speech, and said this:
/ was appalledandindeed the whole Department was, and frankly, angry, to learn ofthe MCCs
failure to adequately secure tin's.prisoner. We are nowlearning ofserious irregularities at this
facility that are deeply concerningand demanda thorough investigation. The FBI and the Office of
Inspector Generalare doingjust that. We willget to the bottom ofwhat happened, and there will be
accountability.
Tucker Carlson: 3.5 years after Jeffrey Epstein died, no one has gotten to the bottom of what happened
that day and there has been no accountability for it. The only people ever punished for the grotesque
malfeasance surrounding Epstein's death were two low-level guards who fell asleep on duty that night.
Both pleaded guilty to falsifying government records. But last year, with no real explanation, an Obama-
appointed judge dropped all charges against both of them. One of the guards may still work for the federal
government. As for getting to the bottom of what happened—despite many promises from many various
officials—not to the FBI nor the Justice Departments Office of Inspector General has ever issued a report
explaining how Jeffrey Epstein died...not a word. So, once again, 3.5 years after one of the most widely
covered deaths of our time, there's still no answers and there's still no accountability. Why is that?
Tucker Carlson quotes from Bill Barr's memoir regarding the medical examiner. Tucker Carlson questions
why reporters never questioned Bill Barr's assessment of Epstein's death. Tucker Carlson resumes
discussing the initial medical examiners assessment, and then discusses NYC's chief medical examiner
Barbara Sampson's declaration of Epstein's death of suicide. Tucker Carlson then begins discussing
Epstein's cell and surrounding inmates, saying BOP wouldn't provide Carlson with the inmate's names on
Epstein's tier.
Tucker Carlson: This week, we've called virtually every person involved in the story surrounding Epstein's
death. With very few exceptions, none of them would speak to us. Some hung up immediately. Others
declined all comment. One of them, the DOJ case officer supposedly assigned to investigate Epstein's
death, refused even to acknowledge that he worked for the federal government. "I'm not going to confirm
or deny that" said Mr. Lyeson Daniel when we reached him on his cell phone. 'Why is that?' we asked him.
"I'm not going to confirm or deny that" he repeated.

2019. Carlson also asks wants to know if the celVs on Epstein's tier were locked the entire night he was
killed and says a source claims they weren't. He also wants to know who moved Epstein's body, re-dressed
Epstein's corpse, and intubated it.
Tucker Carlson: We dutifully called the Department of Justice to ask them to explain some of this, they
refused on the grounds that there is quote "an active investigation in progress." But that is a lie. There is
no investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's death. We're moving on 4 years now, there has never been an
investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's death...the death of an American citizen. We can only speculate as to
why that is, but all the explanations are bad and ominous. Maybe someone in the new Republican
Congress should look into all of this. Not because Jeffrey Epstein was an American hero, but because for
once, it'd be nice to see the federal government forced to tell the truth about something.
