AG Barr names new federal prison director in continuing agency make-over following Jeffrey Epstein suicide
WASHINGTON– Attorney General William Barr appointed a new director of the federal prison system Tuesday, continuing a leadership makeover following the August suicide of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
"I am grateful for Kathy’s service and that she has agreed to stay on as a senior advisor to assist the bureau with this transition," Barr said. Epstein, 66, was awaiting trial following last month's indictment on charges of sex trafficking and sex-trafficking conspiracy. Federal prosecutors alleged that he"sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his homes" in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Florida, and at other locations from 2002-2005.
