Epstein's Phone Call

Epstein was found dead in his cell in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York on Aug. 10, 2019. The day before, he was allowed to make an unrecorded, unmonitored call, which went against Bureau of Prisons policy.

Records reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Inspector General, the watchdog that conducted the probe, show that Epstein dialed a local 646 number after claiming he was going to call his mother.

Epstein's mother died in 2004.

The manager of the unit in which Epstein was being held let Epstein make the call.  The manager told investigations that he dialed a number Epstein provided. A male answered. The manager then gave the phone to Epstein, who was quoted as saying: "Hey, how are you doing? How's everything?"

Epstein spoke with the person for about 20 minutes.

Investigators identified the person on the other end. They sought an interview with the person, who was not identified in the report, but the person declined. A lawyer representing the person said that the person was in Belarus during the call. If true, the call was connected through a local number.

According to the lawyer, Epstein discussed how the media had been reporting on him. The call also went over "personal things such as books, music, and hygiene while incarcerated," according to the report.

"According to the representations by Individual 1's counsel, Epstein told Individual 1, 'They are trying to keep me safe,' and that his case would take a little longer than he originally thought," the report stated. "He told Individual 1 he loved her, to be strong, and that he would not be able to call her again for another month."
