Civil rights and criminal defense attorney David Schoen, who had met with sex offender multi-millionaire Jeffrey Epstein, said the disgraced financier appeared optimistic just days before his reported suicide.

“I saw him a few days earlier,” Schoen told Fox News on Thursday. “The reason I say I don’t believe it was suicide is for my interaction with him that day. The purpose of asking me to come there that day and over the past previous couple of weeks was to ask me to take over his defense.”
