Newly released Epstein files include a draft statement attributed to federal prosecutors that is dated the day before Jeffrey Epstein was found dead. 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.

A review of the records shows multiple versions of similar statements with inconsistent redactions—some leaving phone numbers or names visible, others blacking out nearly all identifying information. One draft bears a date of Aug. 9, 2019, the day before Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

The circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death have been repeatedly scrutinized.

Epstein’s former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, claimed in a pardon petition filed last summer and recently obtained by the Daily Beast that Epstein was deliberately left unprotected in federal custody. Tartaglione, a former police officer convicted of multiple murders, alleged that prison officials knowingly housed Epstein with an accused mass murderer despite earlier reports that the disgraced financier had raised concerns about his safety weeks before his death.

1. Statements announcing his death? Before his death? Or am i misunderstanding?

[chowder66]

2. Yes. The document is in the story.

[niyad]

7. Yet another example of the poor writing that passes for "journalism"

these days. That should have been stated in the first sentence, not a later paragraph.

[thesquanderer]

10. Yes... this draft about his death is dated Aug 9, before they "found" him 6:30 am Aug 10

17. impling that 'prosecutors' (of course unnamed) were, for some completely unexplicable reason ..

made privy to a sanctioned 'murder for hire' plot - already entrained ...

How many ways is it possible to say, "Bull Sh*t" !! ?
And how often does it need to be repeated that this kind of 'garbage' - only serves to degrade and devalue - any sort of legitimate evidence or concern?

Please !!

3. Vince Foster's suicide was investigated by the FBI, the Department of Justice, multiple U.S. Congress inquiries,

the U.S. Park Police and two independent investigations. All of them concluded Foster died as the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Epstein's "suicide" needs to be as exhaustively and thoroughly investigated as Foster's.

4. They knew he was going to be killed nt

[sop]

5. Because they staged Epstein's "suicide."

[niyad]

6. Not in the least surprising, since the "official" story stank like

limburger left in the sun.

[twodogsbarking]

8. Do Trump next.

[BComplex]

14. If only.

[Joinfortmill]

9. Wow. Now we know why Maurene Comey was fired.

[KS Toronado]

11. I'm a little confused which isn't unusual

If you're planning on killing someone the next day, why inform the Southern District of New York’s U.S. Attorney’s
Office? Seems like there would be plenty of people working there that would love their "10 minutes of fame"
to spill the beans. Was the date a typo?

[stopdiggin]

18. It's competely absurd - on the face of it.

And it takes an astounding degree of gullibility - to impart any sort of legitimacy or credence ....

[pandr32]

12. Well, this is awkward

You don't suppose it needed to be ready to go? Someone just failed to correct the date the next morning.

[perdita9]

13. Which prosecutors knew about this!

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that make them accessories to murder?

They sure as Heck shouldn't be practicing law.

[Marcuse]

15. A new variation of a classic theme.

[Evolve Dammit]

16. left "deliberately unprotected." Yeah.
