DOJ Files Show Jeffrey Epstein Was Reportedly About To Cooperate With Federal Prosecutors Just Weeks Before He Was Found Dead in Jail

Epstein was going to flip?

As journalists around the world dive into the 3 million new Epstein Files documents released by the US DOJ, all sorts of stories are arising about many individuals, including the late pedophile himself.

Today we learned that Jeffrey Epstein was ‘set to potentially cooperate with the feds’ in his sex-trafficking case.

The bombshell revelation comes after it was known that his lawyers and prosecutors met just two weeks before he was found dead in jail.

The New York Post reported:

“Federal prosecutors met with lawyers for the twisted pedophile financier on July 29, 2019, when his camp, ‘in very general terms, discussed the possibility of a resolution of the case, and the possibility of the defendant’s cooperation’, according to an FBI record made public in the Epstein files last week.

The 66-year-old sex offender — whose former pals ranged from world leaders to billionaires and Hollywood powerhouses — killed himself just two weeks later, as he was locked up in a Lower Manhattan jail cell awaiting trial in the bombshell criminal case, according to authorities.”

Days before Epstein died, his lawyers quietly sat down with federal prosecutors and floated the idea of cooperation.

No specifics. Just the classic “hypothetically, if our client were to help…” kind of thing.

2 weeks later, he’s dead.

“Another document in the Epstein files references the same meeting with the feds but notes, ‘Defense counsel did not make a specific proposal, and they did not indicate what the nature of Epstein’s cooperation might be, if any’.

‘It was suggested that defense counsel contact SDNY if Epstein was prepared to accept responsibility for his conduct and/or they had a specific proposal for a resolution of this case’.”

Who entered Epstein’s jail tier the night of his death? Newly released video logs appear to contradict official accounts.

Newly released Department of Justice documents show that investigators reviewing surveillance footage from the night of Jeffrey Epstein’s death observed an orange-colored shape moving up a staircase toward the isolated, locked tier where his cell was located at approximately 10:39 p.m. on Aug. 9, 2019.

That entry in an observation log of the video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center appears to suggest something previously unreported by authorities: “A flash of orange looks to be going up the L Tier stairs — could possibly be an inmate escorted up to that Tier.”

It also appears, according to an FBI memorandum, that reviews by investigators led to disparate conclusions by the FBI and those examining the same video from the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General. 

The FBI log describes the fuzzy image as “possibly an inmate.” 

The inspector general logs it as an officer carrying orange “linen or bedding,” noting it in their final report as “an unidentified [corrections officer].”

The DOJ Office of Inspector General’s analysis of video footage describes a fuzzy orange image on the stairs leading to Epstein’s cell tier as: “it is possible someone is carrying inmate linen or bedding up the stairs.”

New video shows prison guards calmly going about their business just 30 minutes after Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell

New footage released by US authorities shows prison guards calmly going about their business inside the prison where Jeffrey Epstein died just half an hour after he was found.

The paedophile billionaire had been found unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York at 6.30am on August 19, 2019, despite being a high profile prisoner who had been on suicide watch.

But the first footage to emerge of the immediate aftermath of his death from inside the jail shows a scene of apparent calm on the floor above Epstein’s cell.

In CCTV released by the Department of Justice (DoJ) as part of what it says will be the final tranche of the ‘Epstein Files’, evidence compiled ahead of his expected trial on sex offences, a drab prison corridor and a large curved guards’ station can be seen.

The scene, filmed at just after 7am, focuses, presumably from a fixed prison camera in the corridor, on the apparently deserted black pillared desk for the first seven minutes.

A hand is then seen coming across the screen from the left of the shot from someone seated behind the desk reaching to answer a phone and possibly press an intercom.

Around 40 seconds later, the male guard in uniform and a baseball cap stands up and begins to move away slowly but soon doubles back to reach for something to eat from a shelf. He can be seen emptying handfuls into his palm from a small box and shovelling them into his mouth.

He continues to eat as a female guard in uniform appears at the front of the desk with her back to the camera and picks up the phone.

US attorney’s office looking into case of Philly woman stabbed 20 times and ruled suicide under then-AG Josh Shapiro: report

The federal government is now taking a fresh look into the 2011 death of Ellen Greenberg, A Philadelphia teacher woman who died after 20 stab wounds. Ten of those wounder were in the back of her neck and base of her head, but her death was ruled suicide.

According to sources that spoke to NBC10, the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania is interested in looking at the case. The federal government has requested documents related to her death, and obtained them last month, the outlet reported.

Greenberg, 27 at the time of her death, had 20 stab wounds to her front as well as back. The medical examiner had initially ruled that it was a homicide, but later ruled it a suicide and her death has remained that way on records since. Greenberg’s parents, however, have fought to reopen the case and have argued that she was murdered.

Greenberg was found dead by her fiance Sam Goldberg in the apartment they shared. A 10-inch blade was found sticking out of her chest. Her parents have long accused the local government and justice system of covering up a botched homicide investigation.

Epstein’s chilling words rejecting suicide days before he died in jail

Jeffrey Epstein denied that he would commit suicide days before dying alone in his jail cell, according to the latest batch of files released about the dead pedophile.

Documents from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, where Epstein was being held ahead of his trial on sex trafficking charges, reveal new details about Epstein’s ‘possible suicide attempt’ in the early hours of July 23, 2019.

The disgraced financier was found dead in his New York prison cell on August 10, with his death officially ruled a suicide.

But notes from his time in custody indicate that Epstein rejected the idea that he would ever kill himself – apparently, for faith-related motives.

‘He said he is Jewish and he said in his religion suicide is against the religion,’ per an August 1 suicide risk assessment from the Bureau of Prisons psychology services, which was released earlier this week as part of the eighth set of the Epstein files.

Other notes from prison said that Epstein ‘denied current suicidal or self harm ideation.’

‘I’m a coward,’ he was quoted as saying on July 27.

Epstein also added that he ‘does not like pain and even does not like when he has to give blood.’

As part of the latest batch of Epstein files, detailed records were released in relation to the convicted sex offender’s supposed suicide attempt in the Special Housing Unit at the Metropolitan Correction Center in New York. 

Notes from a ‘clinical intervention’ on July 27 said Epstein claimed he could not remember the incident.

‘He stated he is anxious about going back to SHU because he stated he is going back to a place where he had gotten marks on his neck and he does not know why it happened,’ the report said.

Epstein was described as being in a ‘neutral mood’ with ‘logical and coherent’ speech.

He said he had an appetite, but complained about feeling dehydrated and not getting enough sleep.

The assessment concluded that Epstein was ‘future oriented’ and ‘does not appear to be an immediate danger to self.’

According to the notes, Epstein was regularly observed by the prison’s psychology services while in custody.

Epstein Claimed Cellmate Tried TO MURDER HIM Weeks Before Suspicious Death

Newly released documents from the Epstein files are shedding light on the paedophile financier’s final weeks, where he accused his cellmate of attempting to murder him, fueling long-held suspicions of foul play.

The revelations come amid the Trump DOJ’s transparency push, exposing details that challenge the official suicide narrative and point to potential cover-ups in the deep state’s handling of the case.

The Telegraph notes, “Jeffrey Epstein claimed his cellmate tried to murder him in the weeks before his death, newly released documents say,” adding “The notes from prison officers also record an apparent attempt by the paedophile financier to take his own life around the same time.”

These prison records detail Epstein’s claims of waking up with marks around his neck that he couldn’t explain, raising questions about whether the incident was a botched suicide or something more sinister.

Epstein’s brother’s wild claim that Trump authorized his murder is unearthed in DOJ files

Jeffrey Epstein‘s brother claimed that he believed Donald Trump authorized the murder of the notorious sex trafficker in 2019, according to the latest Epstein files release. 

A document in the cache of around 8,000 files released Tuesday included a tip that Epstein’s brother Mark sent to the FBI in 2023, making the claim about his brother’s death four years earlier. 

The tip read: ‘Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in his jail cell. I have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. 

‘I believe President Trump authorized (his) murder.’ 

The document did not provide any details as to why Mark Epstein believed that Trump ‘authorized’ his brother’s death, which was ruled as a suicide.

Trump has never been formally accused of wrongdoing related to the sex trafficker’s death. 

The document was one of many in Tuesday’s release that delved into Epstein’s much-scrutinized death in his jail cell on August 10, 2019 in the Manhattan Correctional Center. 

In another document released by the DOJ was from just days before Epstein was found dead in his cell, Epstein wrote a sickening letter to serial child molester Larry Nassar, claiming that ‘our president’ loves ‘young, nubile girls.’ 

While he was not explicitly named in the note, Donald Trump was serving his first term in the White House at the time.

Family of Texas A&M student says new video and evidence of a ‘fight’ will prove her death wasn’t suicide

The family of Texas A&M student Brianna Aguilera has insisted her death at a college tailgate was not a suicide – and they claim new evidence, including a video, will prove it.

Aguilera, a 19-year-old sophomore, fell 17 stories from a high-rise apartment in Austin after attending the football game against arch rival University of Texas on November 28, according to police.

Investigators claim they found evidence that the aspiring lawyer wrote a suicide note and spoke about ending her life with friends in the hours before she died, police said Thursday.

But at a press conference Friday, the family’s high profile attorney, Tony Buzbee, said the autopsy and toxicology report are not yet complete – he blasted Austin police for ruling her death a suicide.

‘The Austin Police Department formed a conclusion within hours of this tragedy that [it] was a suicide without any investigation,’ Buzbee told reporters.

‘Do you realize that the autopsy has not been completed? The medical examiner’s office told us that it will not be completed for 60 to 90 days, yet you had the so-called lead detective in front of millions of people saying that he had concluded that this was a suicide. Now how unprofessional is that?’

Buzbee added that Aguilera’s parents asked for toxicology testing and a rape kit to be included in the autopsy report.

Aguilera’s mother, Stephanie Rodriguez, does not believe her daughter would have died by suicide, and instead thinks someone must have pushed her over the railing.

Clinton Body Count: Epstein Email to Disgraced Journalist Alleges Hillary Had Sexual Affair with ‘Suicided’ Vince Foster

In the latest twist from the trove of Jeffrey Epstein’s emails released by House Democrats, a 2016 message from the convicted pedophile to disgraced author Michael Wolff appears to allege that Hillary Clinton had a sexual affair with former White House Deputy Counsel Vince Foster.

The exchange began with Wolff asking Epstein for a “thumb nail” summary on “Nussbaum/foster,” prompting Epstein’s response implying an illicit affair between Hillary and Foster.

The email, dated May 25, 2016, cryptically states: “nussbaum white house counsel. . hillary doing naughties with vince.” This appears to reference Bernard Nussbaum, White House Counsel under President Bill Clinton, and Vince Foster, who died under suspicious circumstances in 1993.

Foster, a longtime Clinton ally from Arkansas, was found dead on July 20, 1993, in Fort Marcy Park, Virginia, with a gunshot wound to the head.

Official investigations, including those by the U.S. Park Police, independent counsels Robert Fiske and Ken Starr, and congressional probes, all concluded it was a suicide.

However, the circumstances, such as the lack of fingerprints on the gun, inconsistencies in witness statements, and the missing bullet, have fueled decades of conspiracy theories suggesting foul play by the Clintons.

The gunshot wound itself raises red flags.

Foster was shot once in the mouth with a .38-caliber revolver, the bullet exiting through the back of his head. For such a high-powered wound, experts say there should have been massive blood loss, skull fragments, and brain matter scattered around the body. Yet, reports describe minimal blood at the scene, just a small trickle from the mouth and nose, with no pooling under the head despite the body lying uphill.

Journalist Christopher Ruddy, in his book “The Strange Death of Vincent Foster,” calls this impossible, suggesting the body was moved from another location where the actual shooting occurred.

Adding to the weirdness, the gun was found clutched in Foster’s right hand, with his thumb oddly jammed in the trigger guard, a position unnatural for a suicide recoil.

Slain Journalist Was on Threshold of Exposing Large-Scale CIA-Mafia Drug-Smuggling Operation Using Australian Bank Founded by Special Forces Veteran

n August 10, 1991, Danny Casolaro was found lying dead in a tub of bloody water in a hotel room in Martinsburg, West Virginia.

The cause of death was ruled a suicide, the view presented in a recent Emmy winning Netflix series. However, the crime scene evidence makes clear that Casolaro was murdered.

Prior to his death, Casolaro had been investigating the nefarious activities of a corrupt cabal in the CIA linked to then-President George H.W. Bush and was planning to publish a tell-all book called “The Octopus.”

One of the key chapters was going to focus on a drug and arms-smuggling operation using the Australian-based Nugan Hand Bank, which was founded in 1973 and staffed by people with military backgrounds and who had links at a high level with American intelligence operations.[1]

Nugan Hand made its money by charging high fees for performing illegal and shady services (including moving money overseas, flouting Australia’s and other countries’ laws, and tax avoidance schemes) and from the fraudulent procurement and subsequent misappropriation of investments from the public.[2]

CIA whistleblower Victor Marchetti wrote that Nugan Hand’s favors for the CIA included providing cover for operators, laundering money, and establishing cutouts for clandestine activity the Agency did not want to be publicly identified with—including gun running to apartheid South Africa and Southern Rhodesia in violation of arms embargos.[3]

Casolaro had been planning a trip to Australia to interview key figures associated with the bank, including Bernie Houghton, a top CIA man from Texas who joined Nugan Hand’s staff in 1978 and established its Saudi Arabian branch.[4]

An Air Force cadet in World War II who flew opium out of the Golden Triangle in C-47 cargo planes during the Vietnam War, Houghton had established the Bourbon & Beefsteak, a gathering place for U.S. soldiers on R&R from Vietnam, whose private guests included Sydney mob boss Abe Saffron and John D. Walker, the CIA’s Australian Station Chief from 1973 to 1975.[5]

Besides Houghton, Casolaro hoped to interview members of an Australian parliamentary commission that had investigated the Nugan Hand Bank and helped expose its criminal activities. Casolaro further intended to interview Nugan Hand Bank co-founder Michael Jon Hand, a decorated Green Beret in Vietnam and CIA contract agent who trained hill tribesmen in Vietnam and Laos and fled Australia after the Nugan Hand Bank’s collapse in January 1980.[6]

Already, Casolaro had amassed significant evidence of Nugan Hand’s function as a beachhead for drug and money-laundering operations run by Mafia-connected CIA operatives who were part of President George H.W. Bush’s “secret team.”
