New Documents Reveal Epstein Lawyers Discussed Cooperation Days Before His Death
In a shocking revelation, newly released investigative files have shed light on the final days of Jeffrey Epstein's life. Just under two weeks before his death in jail, Epstein's lawyers met with Manhattan federal prosecutors to discuss potential cooperation. The meeting took place on July 29, 2019.
According to an FBI document, the discussions were general and did not involve specific details about a resolution or Epstein's cooperation. However, it was suggested that Epstein's defense team contact the US Attorney's Office in South Florida if he was willing to accept responsibility for his actions or had a proposal for a resolution of the case.
Epstein, who faced charges of sex trafficking minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking between 2002 and 2005, had already pleaded not guilty. The indictment alleged that Epstein exploited dozens of underage girls, paying them to recruit other minors to engage in similar sex acts.
The news comes as a disturbing contrast to the reported injuries Epstein sustained while unconscious in his jail cell several days before the meeting with prosecutors. While two anonymous sources claimed Epstein's injuries may have been self-inflicted, others disputed this theory.
Epstein appeared healthy during a court appearance just one week after his reported injuries and only two days after the described meeting with prosecutors. However, he was found unconscious again on August 10th and pronounced dead at the hospital. Authorities attributed his death to suicide.
The Epstein case has been marred by controversy, including a sweetheart plea deal in 2008 that allowed him to avoid federal charges in exchange for admitting to state-level prostitution charges. The FBI and US Attorney's Office in South Florida investigated these allegations, which were previously shelved.
The release of these new documents adds another layer of complexity to the Epstein saga, raising questions about the nature of his cooperation with prosecutors and whether it might have influenced the outcome of the case.
