Shortly after being taken off of suicide watch, Epstein was spotted sitting in a room reserved for lawyers to meet with their clients at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, the jail where he died, accompanied by a young-looking woman who may have been one of his attorneys, or…maybe not.
Forbes’ source, a visiting attorney who asked not to be named because he didn’t want to cause problems with the prison, said the optics were “startling.”
“The optics were startling. Because she was young. And pretty,” the visiting attorney said. He speculated the woman could be a lawyer, but was unsure. It has been reported that Epstein paid lawyers just to sit with him in these meeting rooms for eight hours a day simply so he could avoid his cell.
Forbes’ source said the sighting took place on July 30, the day after Epstein was taken off suicide watch. During his time at the prison, the source said he didn’t see Reid Weingarten, or other named Epstein attorneys visit him.
“If I was him, I would have hired…an old bald guy,” the anonymous lawyer, who said the young woman was in the room with Epstein for at least two hours, added that these rooms are locked when prisoners go in, allowing them to remove their handcuffs. Handcuffs are put back on when the doors are unlocked and the parties move.
The lawyer also suggested that Epstein’s daily pow-wows with his attorneys was one reason why he was taken off suicide watch: In the SHU - special housing unit - there are only two conference rooms available for clients and their attorneys, and waiting for them often takes forever.
Epstein’s daily occupation of the room in the SHU was a sore point for attorneys trying to visit their clients. Instead of waiting 15 minutes for a room, the wait could stretch for two hours, as it was that day. “They wouldn’t move anybody until he got where he was going, which is what they used to do with El Chapo, too,” the visiting attorney said. There are 12 attorney visiting rooms at MCC, but only two are for attorneys visiting SHU clients. That means Epstein was monopolizing a scarce resource.
But judging by the description of the anonymous young woman seen sitting with Epstein, she seems a little…old…for his tastes.
As for Epstein’s companion, the visiting attorney noted that she didn’t seem to have any files with her. He speculated that she could have been a first-year associate, and that she was dressed casually. “It was slacks and a blouse…Could have been jeans or another kind of pants,” he said. “But, like, Sunday brunch attire.”
The visiting attorney said the treatment reminded him of Epstein’s lifestyle in Florida when he served 13 months on a prostitution charge in a much-criticized plea deal with federal prosecutors. Then, Epstein would leave jail and go to his office on a work release program for up to 12 hours a day, six days a week. “It sounded to me like a replay of the Florida thing where he got to go to the office … and sit around rather than sit in the cell,” he said.
It’s more likely that she was hired simply to babysit him during these sessions, since it’d be cheaper than paying a partner’s rate.

What does the word “Reportedly” mean. Somebody just made it up.
Waste of a story ! No Name Sources are a penny a dozen, 0, Zilch, Nada, Nothingburger !!!
This whole ‘episode’ in our recent history reeks. The stench is so overwhelming, that there is no way anyone could possibly believe Epstein was anything more than another typical demonrat who thought he was above everyone and anything.
I do not believe he committed suicide. The coroner is covering up for some powerful people; or Epstein isn’t really dead.
It’s too hard to fathom that someone like Epstein would ‘succumb’ to the depths of depression that would allow him to ‘off himself’. The evidence I have seen (in the news etc), just doesn’t add up. Maybe it will eventually.
I look at his lifestyle, and at how he made his ‘fortune’. He wielded the power of blackmail, and used money like a shovel. You know darned-well his “little black book” is a powerful ‘shovel’.
We have no idea, yet, of who is involved with his empire or who was being blackmailed. It could be “a” someone who would have access to him in prison.
People heard screams coming from his cell that night. He was beaten and strangled 2 weeks prior. The cameras miraculously were not working. The prison was ‘understaffed’ that night. His cell-buddy-suicide-baby-sitter was transferred. He had REAL cotton sheets, when the other inmates got paper sheets. He broke bones in his neck that typically only happen to victims of strangulation. His age may have SOMETHING to do with broken bones, but the WILL to kill himself is still a major factor in getting the job done. Yes, he could have tied the sheet to his bunk bed, and rolled over and over until it twisted tightly around his neck enough to pass out; and nature took over, allowing his lifeless body to fall off the bunk.
No one has convinced me he had the WILL to kill himself. If he wanted to commit suicide, why bother having his lawyers there all day. Why bring in “entertainment” (like this article suggests)?
Why did his lawyers insist the prison take him off suicide watch; but now have secured counsel of their own?
This is just fishy . . .
The first report was he hung himself and that his body was found lying on his bed???
I totally agree. He had to much information on powerful people that he was going to expose as a plea deal. The group is very bad and powerful with Hillary Clinton at the top, so I have no doubt that he was murdered by someone in that group because that is what they do and have done to many others who were ready to expose them. Does anyone really believe that these high profile people have been committing suicide?? They were all murdered and there will be more coming.
They are looking for excuses for the murder. Making up stories. Too many other clues point to murder. Do they think we are stupid, or what??
I don’t believe this was a suicide either. It seems real fishy to me. Too many factors like the cameras weren’t working, the guards were asleep, falsified records, “I’ll see you Sunday.” etc. It stinks to high heaven. This man was murdered! AND it is being covered up! Suicide my big toe!
The best detective writer in the world couldn’t make this stuff up!!! It beggars belief.
I said from the beginning that he would die before
Anything came out on the big wigs. And, they would say he killed himself. Just what happened. They think we are stupid. This stuff has been going on for 10 years right before you think the big wigs are fixing to go down, than something happens. And than here comes the lies. It’s all a bunch of crap and lies, again ! on the American people.
Suicide, homicide, natural causes…whatever, the man frequently joked about his profession, calling himself a “bounty hunter?”. A man educated scholarly acquaintances noted that Epstein stated his brain and male part were summed up his 2 favorite things in life -science & sex (with teenaged girls no less). His interest in transgenics, maybe eugenics like Bill Gates? Expired passport from SA? Picture of Bill Clinton in a blue dress with red high heels @ one of his residences. Are the red shoes 👠 made from human skin? This is a sick man and shockingly he closely resembles Jeff Soros, George Soros nephew, which is even more disturbing.
Let the attorney general view the body .That way everyone knows he’s deceased
