Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Epstein ordered the shipment of sulfuric acid after he had been indicted.
The finding
What the evidence shows
The released Epstein files show the sulfuric acid was delivered to Little St. James on December 6, 2018, with the paperwork saying it was for the island's reverse osmosis water plant. That was seven months before his July 2019 federal indictment. He had been charged in Florida in 2006, but that case had ended a decade earlier, so the idea that he ordered it after being indicted does not fit the record.
