New York • Two federal workers who were on duty the night Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail are expected to be charged Tuesday in connection with their alleged failure to check on him every half-hour, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The two Federal Bureau of Prisons employees were expected to appear in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
The charges would be the first to arise from a criminal investigation into the death of Epstein, the disgraced financier who hanged himself at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
