Two correctional officers who were responsible for guarding Jeffrey Epstein when he killed himself in his New York jail cell have been arrested.
The two federal Bureau of Prisons employees were taken into custody early Tuesday, sources told the New York Times.
They are expected to be charged in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan later on Tuesday over their alleged failure to check on the millionaire pedophile in his cell.
The two officers were placed on administrative leave while the FBI and the Justice Department's inspector general investigated the circumstances surrounding Epstein's death.
