Epstein was arrested again in July 2019. The case was given to the [[DOJ]]'s public corruption unit and not its sex crimes unit. [[Maurene Comey]], daughter of former FBI director [[James Comey]], was assigned as a prosecutor in the case. If not for special treatment in the late 2000s due to liberal privilege, Epstein would have been in prison and his more recent victims may have been spared.  After being denied bail,  Epstein was found in his cell unconscious with marks on his neck. On the morning of August 10, he was found dead at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan; his death has initially been ruled a suicide, though given his ability to implicate many rich and powerful people in sex crimes, including the Clintons, foul play is widely suspected.

The days after more unsealed documents implicated Bill Clinton and former Clinton United Nations Ambassador [[Richardson]], among others, of pedophiliac charges made by surviving victims, Epstein was found dead at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan; the same documents included testimony from a survivor refuting media reports, "It's true that he [Donald Trump] didn't partake in any sex with us, and but it's not true that he flirted with me. Donald Trump never flirted with me."<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-08-09/epstein-document-dump-hits-accuser-says-trump-didnt-partake-any-sex-any-us</ref> Epstein's death has initially been ruled a suicide, though given his ability to implicate many rich and powerful people in sex crimes, including the Clintons, foul play is widely suspected.
