A possible suicide note from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has now been publicly revealed for the first time. The handwritten text spans roughly half a page and has not been authenticated by NBC News.
It was not previously released in the so-called Epstein files by the Department of Justice and only became public after Epstein’s former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, said he found it in a book in the cell they shared in 2019 as Epstein awaited trial on sex trafficking charges
This newly revealed note possibly shedding more light on his state of mind before his death.
For years,it was kept under wraps but this morning a possible suicicde note from the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Now publicly revealed for the first time .
The handwritten text spanning roughly half a page has not been authenticade by NBC NEWS but appears to state in part,
They investigated me for months ,but found nothing, it’s a treat to be able to choose one’s time to say good -bye.”
Adding.
What you want me to do? bust out crying? no fun, not worth it.”
This note not previously released in the so- called Epstein files by the department of justice.
only becoming public after Epstein’s former cell mate Nicholas Tartaglione told New York times .
He found it in a book in the cell they shared back in 2019 as Epstein awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
It’s actually a common problem that cell mates have access to each other’s documents
and frequently accidentally see some of the documents of their cell mate.”
Tartaglione says he gave the note to his attorneys.
Weeks later Epstein was found dead in his cell but the note remainded under seal with the court as part of Tartaglione’s criminal case until late wednesday.
When a federal judge ordered the note’s released at the
” times” request.
The note appears to have been written on a yellow legal pad.
His team never formally authenticated it but confirmed to another note published by ” 60 minutes ” in 2020.
Also handwritten on a yellow pad also ending with the line
” No fun.”
So where does ths go next?
Part of the confusion is who is going to be able to authenticate this note, right?
The justice departement had never see this note before yesturday as well.
But are they going to actually make any effort to do that , it’s not clear , that would be something that they are going to take initiative on right now”
