Epstein files reveal prosecutors’ announcement of his suicide one day before official death
A draft statement from the Southern District of the New York’s U.S. Attorney’s Office was dated August 9, 2019, before Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell on August 10.
According to a report by the Daily Beast, the draft appears among “at least 23 documents in the disclosure labeled as statements from the Southern District of New York’s U.S. Attorney’s Office.”
The files contain multiple versions of similar statements with varying degrees of redactions, some leaving nearly all identifying information blacked out and some leaving names and phone numbers unredacted.
The draft is dated Friday, August 9, 2019. However, Epstein was officially found dead in his cell after 6:30 a.m. on August 10.
