Epstein lawyers discussed possibility of cooperation with prosecutors days before his death, files reveal [View all]

Source: The Guardian

Less than two weeks before Jeffrey Epstein's death in jail, his lawyers and Manhattan federal prosecutors met and discussed his potential cooperation, several documents within a cache of newly released investigative files state.

"On July 29, 2019, FBI and [prosecutors] met with Epstein's attorneys, who, in very general terms, discussed the possibility of a resolution of the case, and the possibility of the defendant's cooperation," an FBI document titled "Epstein Investigation Summary & Timeline" statement.

On 23 July 2019, several days before this stated meeting with prosecutors, Epstein was discovered unconscious in a jail cell, multiple media outlets reported. While it was unclear how Epstein endured injuries to his neck, two anonymous sources told New York City's NBC News 4 that his injuries may have been self-inflicted.

Epstein was found unconscious in his cell again on 10 August and pronounced dead at hospital. Authorities said Epstein's cause of death was suicide.
