President Donald Trump said on Aug. 13 that he is demanding a “full investigation” into the death of financier Jeffrey Epstein, a day after Attorney General William Barr said there were “serious irregularities” at the prison that held the alleged sex trafficker.

“Basically what we’re saying is we want an investigation. I want a full investigation. And that’s what I absolutely am demanding. That’s what our great attorney general is doing; he’s doing a full investigation,” Trump told reporters in Morristown, New Jersey.
