New York Times pushes for release of purported Epstein suicide note

The paper says the note could shed light on Epstein’s state of mind and help answer lingering questions about his death.

  • Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his New York prison cell in 2019, and his death was ruled a suicide by the New York City medical examiner.
  • Nicholas Tartaglione, Epstein's cellmate, claims he found a handwritten note purportedly written by Epstein before his death, which has been sealed in a New York courthouse and not publicly released.
  • The Department of Justice stated it had not seen the note and it was never reviewed in official investigations, including the DOJ's 2023 Inspector General report.
  • The New York Times petitioned a federal judge to unseal the note, and a deadline was set for responses to the request without extensions.
