A federal statement announcing Jeffrey's Epstein's death in prison was dated the day before he was found dead hanging in his cell.

The document released by the US Department of Justice in the latest set of the Epstein Files describes Epstein being found unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in Manhattan, where he was declared dead.

However it is dated Friday, August 9, 2019, while prison records and official document show it was not until August 10, 2019, that a corrections officer delivering breakfast found Epstein unresponsive in his cell.

It must have been a typo … is what I would've said if not for:

They can't identify where the noose came from. BTW where is that noose now?
Everybody swears they didn't take the noose off him.
Guards say the do rounds about hourly … but not that night.
A prisoner count went down by one mysteriously (and without alarm) hours before Epstein was killed
"There is no video" despite Epstein being in a wing expressly so there would be video
"Here is video showing the stairs" that basically doesn't show the stairs "nobody went up or down, the video proves"
Someone noticed a gap in that video "The video cuts out for almost a minute at midnight due to system reset"
Turns out it was three minutes. "Okay here's video that shows we lied" with a few seconds gap, not minutes.
FBI documents identify someone, likely an inmate, going up the stairs. Not released BTW.
Others go up and down the stairs without detection that we have documentation of.
"Gaurd took linens upstairs." "No we didn't!"
"It was a suicide" conclusively, quickly, despite all of this…
And then it turns out we now have evidence Trump wanted Epstein dead too.

Seems like the story and the facts keep changing to whatever you're likely to believe and stop asking questions.
