UPDATED: Very Brief Epstein Update

The WaPo reports that Epstein was in an upbeat mood. Fox says, although not confirmed, that sources say Epstein was considering cooperation to reduce his sentence.

We know through court filings that the DOJ had Epstein's banking/corporate records dating back to 2007.
What changed since then??
