A federal judge in New York has ordered the release of the alleged suicide note written by Jeffrey Epstein to his then-cellmate. The late convicted sex-trafficker referenced both past investigations and expressed frustration.
The New York Times was given access to the note after a request to unseal the document in which it was. The federal judge ruled that the note, which was under seal as part of Epstein’s then-cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione’s case, in which he was convicted of multiple murders, was to be released.
U.S District Judge Kennet Karas found no sufficient reason to keep it sealed. The note was reportedly discovered by Epstein’s cellmate after the billionaire attempted suicide in 2019. However, the court didn’t grant the NY Times’ request for additional documents
Per Fox News, the document was described in court filings as a “suicide note purportedly authored by Jeffrey Epstein.” Tartaglione allegedly recovered the note while they were briefly cellmates at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, New York.
Tartaglione’s attorneys had submitted the document as part of court proceedings. It remained under seal for years.
