Federal statement on Jeffrey Epstein's death dated day before he was found dead
(www.standard.co.uk)
did this only come to light now? or was this known back in 2019?
The document released by the US Department of Justice in the latest set of the Epstein Files describes Epstein being found unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in Manhattan, where he was declared dead.
However it is dated Friday, August 9, 2019, while prison records and official document show it was not until August 10, 2019, that a corrections officer delivering breakfast found Epstein unresponsive in his cell.
Sounds like someone messed up their time zone?
