Attorney General Bill Barr issued a stark warning to Jeffrey Epstein's alleged co-conspirators on Monday, telling them they 'should not rest easy'.
The investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his sex crimes looks set to shift its focus following his death to those accused of helping him, in a move that threatens to implicate some of the world's richest, most powerful men.
Speaking during a press conference Barr said: 'Let me assure you that this case will continue on against anyone who was complicit with Epstein. Any co-conspirators should not rest easy.'
While Epstein was the only person charged the Manhattan U.S. Attorney pledged to 'stand for victims' following Epstein's death on Saturday morning.
Socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is one of those who may find herself in the spotlight after she was described as the 'madam of the house'. She has denied any wrongdoing.
Prosecutors may also target those set to testify against Epstein now that 'they don't need them'. Sarah Kellen Vickers, Adriana Ross, Nadia Marcinkova and Lesley Groff could also face new probes.
And there are still 'thousands of more documents to be released', reports say.
Epstein's accusers may also be able to pursue civil cases against his estate.
