File 65 - Dead a Day Early

A DOJ press release announcing Epstein's death was dated August 9, 2019, one day before he was found dead. The document carried a placeholder release number and omitted the phrase 'apparent suicide.' An FBI 302 describes staff creating a decoy body from boxes and sheets to divert media.

The U.S. Attorney who signed it was removed within a year.
