As many as 20 correctional officers who work at the federal detention center where Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide received grand jury subpoenas last week relating to an investigation into his death, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
Investigators are trying to recreate the events that happened on the night Epstein died nearly two weeks ago at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, the source said. Epstein, the 66-year-old multimilionaire who was awaiting trial on federal charges accusing him of sexually abusing underage girls and running a sex trafficking ring, was found unresponsive in his cell August 10. His death was ruled suicide by hanging.
Epstein, like other detainees in the center's special housing unit, was supposed to be checked on every 30 minutes.

More subpoenas could be in the works as the investigation widens, CNN's source added.

Long before Jeffrey Epstein’s death, his relationship with Prince Andrew was an established fact. They’d been friends for twenty years, a source told Vanity Fair as part of a damning 2011 profile of Andrew and his many embarrassments to the family; “It was Jeffrey who taught Andrew how to relax,” said the source.
