Jeffrey Epstein Committed Suicide in Jail on August 10, 2019
Jeffrey Epstein died while in jail back in 2019.
“I’m grateful I can support myself financially. I don’t need to go to a guy [and say], “Can I please buy this?” And I’m grateful I get to do what I love. I love movies and TV, and I get to meet all these interesting people. You can always say, 'I wish I had this or that,' but I’m very grateful for what I have,” she said.
As for Epstein, the financier died in jail in August 2019 and was linked to many, many celebrities and other A-list figures such as the former Prince Andrew, Donald Trump and Michael Jackson.
Names of Epstein’s associates and friends were exposed in the treasure trove of over 3 million files and emails the DOJ released earlier this year.
Donald Trump was named in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The president's DOJ allegedly shredded “huge amounts of paperwork" just a few days after Epstein's suicide.
A division of the Bureau of Prisons — called the After-Actions team — reportedly looked through the s-- trafficker's files in his cell and destroyed many documents.
At least one inmate was used to help discard the files, according to the department's documents. “[Redacted] was bringing back bags of shredded papers, around 4 or 5 bags, and caller brought them into the gate to throw into the dumpster. [Redacted] told caller that the after-action team is shredding huge amounts of paperwork,” the DOJ's report said.
