New York Times pushes for release of purported Epstein suicide note
The Times says the sealed note could fill a gap in the public record and shed light on Epstein's state of mind before his death.
- On Thursday, The New York Times petitioned Judge Kenneth Karas to unseal a purported suicide note by Jeffrey Epstein that has been sealed in a New York courthouse.
- Former cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione claimed he discovered the note inside a graphic novel after Epstein accused him of assault, though Tartaglione later questioned the document's authenticity.
- A legal dispute between Tartaglione's attorneys prompted Judge Kenneth Karas to seal the document, which was not included in the Justice Department's public file releases earlier this year.
- The Justice Department told NewsNation it is difficult to comment on the note, as neither the government nor the public has seen the sealed document.
- Despite Epstein's death being ruled a suicide, the note's emergence occurs amid ongoing conspiracy theories and reports of shredded documents at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
