'It gets weirder': Small detail in DOJ statement on Epstein's death ignites online frenzy

A small detail in a Justice Department statement on the 2019 death of Jeffrey Epstein has ignited an online frenzy of speculation, with many pointing to the document as proof that the disgraced financier’s death was known in advance.

Released last month by the DOJ as part of its publication of around 3.5 million Epstein files, the document in question appears to be a draft statement on the death of Epstein, who was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell on the Friday morning of August 10, 2019.
