Having witnessed the construction of the prison, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) once again raised doubts about the official narrative surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death.
The Justice Department’s compliance, albeit delayed, with a congressional order to release files pertaining to the late convicted sex offender has once more steered conversations toward alleged influence, blackmail, and conspiracy. To that end, asked for insight during an appearance on “The Benny Show,” Hizzoner suggested it remained “highly unlikely” that Epstein killed himself in his cell.
“So, what about the prison? What about Epstein’s death? You built that prison, didn’t you?” asked host Benny Johnson of the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, which first opened in 1975, seemingly confusing it with the Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn, which opened in 1994 when Giuliani took office as mayor, five years after serving as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
“I have to disagree with my good friends here who came to the conclusion. I find it highly unlikely that you could commit suicide in that prison. I know that prison. Not only did I put probably a record number of people in there, but I watched it be built,” asserted the mayor.
We asked Rudy Giuliani, who built the prison where Jeffrey Epstein died, if he thinks he is still alive after new files reveal guards claimed his body was taken out in a van, his answer SHOCKED Us.

In support of his position, Giuliani went on to question cameras malfunctioning for hours without being addressed, in addition to doubts that the ceiling was high enough for an “effective hanging.”
“I’m not convinced that he took his own life or … that he wasn’t pushed into that direction,” continued the mayor, running contrary to the official findings adamantly defended by FBI Director Kash Patel and now-former Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
“They have a right to their opinion, but as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who’s been in that prison system, who has been in the Metropolitan Detention Center, who’s been in segregated housing,” Patel told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, “you know a suicide when you see one, and that’s what that was.”
Johnson went on to raise another theory that involved an alleged swap per the claim of a whistleblower guard who, as a result, had been “aggressively” targeted by federal investigators.
“He says … there was a medical wheelchair that took Epstein out of his cell, he was cuffed, there was no triage nurse, and there was a transfer van that showed up with a military guard under it, and that Epstein didn’t return,” the host said while showing screenshots of documents.
Regarding those claims, Giuliani contended, “Well, I mean, of course it’s not plausible, but there is evidence that it may have happened. So you had to do a much more thorough investigation to discount it.”
The former New York City mayor and onetime personal attorney for President Donald Trump went on to raise doubts about then-Attorney General Bill Barr, who recused himself from the case little more than a month before Epstein’s death.
“You’re quite right in having a sense of justifiable doubt about it.”
