The Unsealed Jeffrey Epstein Note and the Questions It Leaves Behind (5/7/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. Over the past few days, we heard about
• 0:08
  an alleged suicide note that Jeffrey Epstein supposedly wrote after
• 0:13
  his first alleged attempt at suicide. Well, now we're getting
• 0:18
  a look at that note for the first time, and
• 0:20
  to say it's underwhelming is quite the understatement. And I
• 0:25
  don't think that Jeffrey Epstein wrote this note. That's my
• 0:28
  working theory. So let's dive into this article from the
• 0:32
  AP and let's see what they have for us. Headline
• 0:37
  judge releases notes sell mate says he found after epstein
• 0:40
  suspected suicide attempt. The author of this article is Michael R.
• 0:45
  Sissak and Larry Neumeister. A note Jeffrey Epstein's former cell
• 0:51
  mate claimed he found after the millionaire sex offenders first
• 0:54
  suspected Jill suicide attempt was made public Wednesday, years after
• 0:58
  being sealed and locked in a court house vault as
• 1:01
  part of an unrelated legal dispute. How could it be unrelated?
• 1:06
  If there's a note allegedly written by Jeffrey Epstein, how
• 1:10
  is it unrelated or is it more likely that Tartaglioni
• 1:14
  is telling more fairy tales, because honestly, I don't believe
• 1:17
  anything Tartaglioni has to tell us. And after doing an
• 1:20
  extensive deep dive on Tartaglioni and on his behavior previous
• 1:26
  to being caught up in this, it's obvious to me
• 1:29
  that Nicholas Tartaglioni is not trustworthy. So why anybody would
• 1:33
  trust anything he says is beyond me. US District Judge
• 1:38
  Kenneth Carris in White Plains, New York, ordered the release
• 1:41
  of the note after The New York Times asked him
• 1:43
  last week to unseal it and other documents in a
• 1:46
  case involving the former cell mate Nicholas Tartaglioni. Federal prosecutors
• 1:51
  did not oppose the request. Well, why would they? It
• 1:56
  helps strengthen quote unquote their narrative. Ah Epstein killed himself. Look,
• 2:01
  he left a note. And when I say a note,
• 2:03
  that's being very generous. We're talking about a few words
• 2:06
  scribbled down, and frankly, it looks like something from a
• 2:09
  bad movie. Few people had known about the note until Tartaglioni,
• 2:14
  a former police officer serving a life sentence for killing
• 2:17
  four people. Mentioned it last year on writer Jessica Reid
• 2:20
  Kraus's podcast, Isn't she like in love with Tartaglioni or something?
• 2:25
  Saying he's innocent and all this other stuff? Crazy? Is
• 2:29
  what crazy? Does I hear? Rex Hewerman's looking for a
• 2:32
  new Penthal too. Tartaglioni claimed that he discovered the note
• 2:37
  in a book after Epstein was found on the floor
• 2:39
  of their cell at Manhattan's Federal Jail on July twenty third,
• 2:43
  twenty nineteen, with a strip of bed sheet around the
• 2:46
  financier's neck. That was about three weeks before Epstein was
• 2:50
  found dead in his cell and what authorities concluded was
• 2:53
  a suicide. Does that make sense to anybody? Do you
• 2:57
  really think that the CEOs came in and they didn't
• 3:00
  toss the room, Nobody went through any of the artifacts
• 3:04
  that were in the room. They were just like, oh,
• 3:06
  Tartaglioni told us he didn't do this, so we have
• 3:08
  to believe him. Does that sound like how a gel operates?
• 3:11
  And furthermore, what was Tartaglioni doing in that room in
• 3:14
  the first place. He had just been now with contraband
• 3:17
  a couple weeks earlier, and that contraband was a cell phone,
• 3:21
  so shouldn't he be on lockdown? What's he doing in
• 3:23
  a cell with Jeffrey Epstein in the first place? And
• 3:25
  then it's sure is convenient that somebody like Tartaglioni ends
• 3:28
  up finding this letter. Huh. They investigated me for a month,
• 3:34
  found nothing. Said the short note, which is hard to
• 3:37
  decipher in some places, it's a treat to be able
• 3:40
  to choose the time to say goodbye. The no continues,
• 3:43
  what you want me to do? Bust out crying. Yeah,
• 3:45
  that sounds like Epstein, really sounds like Jeffrey Epstein and
• 3:49
  the vernacular he used. So my working theory is and
• 3:54
  always has been, Tartaglioni was sent into that cell to
• 3:57
  pass on a message, and that message was either you
• 4:00
  do it or we will. And as you can see,
• 4:04
  we can reach out and touch you anytime we want.
• 4:06
  Because this note, it flies directly in the face of
• 4:09
  everything Epstein told, his lawyers, told psychological told everybody else.
• 4:14
  But all of a sudden, Nicholas Tartaglioni is going to
• 4:16
  find a note that actually helps out his narrative that
• 4:18
  he didn't hurt Jeffrey Epstein, and we're just going to
• 4:21
  accept that as truth. Sorry, not here, not ever, no fun.
• 4:27
  The note concludes with the words underlined not worth. It
• 4:31
  sounds like a Donald Trump letter to tell you the truth,
• 4:33
  not Jeffrey Epstein. It's unclear who wrote the note. Tartaglioni
• 4:38
  claimed to have found. It wasn't mentioned in the lengthy
• 4:41
  government reports examining the circumstances of Epstein's death, nor did
• 4:45
  it surface in the Justice Department's recent release of files
• 4:49
  on the late financier. Well, we also never heard from
• 4:52
  any of the guards that were responsible, that were involved,
• 4:56
  about any kind of suicide note. We read the deposition,
• 5:00
  we read the reports from the jail, it was never mentioned.
• 5:05
  So again, I believe that Nicholas Tartaglione created that letter.
• 5:09
  I mean it helps him out right. It's the same
• 5:12
  as like lenn Maxwell. Why should we believe anything she
• 5:15
  says when she has motivation to lie. In an unwritten ruling,
• 5:20
  Kara said that he weighed the privacy interests of third parties,
• 5:23
  including Epstein, before ruling to release the note. He said
• 5:27
  existing case law suggests that privacy interest of a deceased
• 5:30
  person such as Epstein, are vastly reduced and disclosed of
• 5:35
  the deceased information is unlikely to work a concrete harm. Well,
• 5:39
  what kind of concrete harm could come from this? Nothing? Right,
• 5:42
  except to the narrative, because if people didn't believe the
• 5:45
  narrative before, they're not going to believe it now. In fact,
• 5:48
  they're going to be more distrustful. Pretty convenient. This note
• 5:53
  just happens to pop up when it's beneficial for the
• 5:57
  DOJ or when they think it's beneficial for them. According
• 6:01
  to jail records, Epstein had friction marks and skin irritation
• 6:04
  on his neck from the suspected July twenty third attempt.
• 6:08
  Jail officers at the time reported that Epstein said he
• 6:11
  believed Tartaglioni had tried to kill him, according to a
• 6:14
  memo included in the Justice Department's files. He also told
• 6:18
  his lawyers that, by the way, told multiple people that
• 6:22
  Tartaglioni assaulted him. JEL officials placed Epstein on suicide watch
• 6:27
  for thirty one hours after the incident, but downgraded him
• 6:31
  to psychiatric observation, his status when he killed himself. According
• 6:36
  to jail records, he denied trying to harm himself, telling
• 6:39
  a Jael psychologist that suicide was against his Jewish religion
• 6:42
  and that he was a coward who didn't like pain. Well,
• 6:47
  we can agree on the coward part, that's for damn sure,
• 6:50
  because only a coward does the shit that Jeffrey Epstein did.
• 6:55
  But I don't believe he killed himself. I'm sorry, I
• 6:58
  don't believe it. Now, if there are some evidence that
• 7:02
  people want to present, I'll certainly take a look at it,
• 7:06
  because I'm not here to pitch a narrative. I want
• 7:08
  to know what happened, one way or the other. And
• 7:11
  the fact that the official narrative is so disjointed and
• 7:15
  that it doesn't match up with the timelines or reality
• 7:19
  is very concerning. A chronology included in the file states
• 7:25
  that Tartaglioni told his lawyer about the note four days
• 7:28
  after the suspected July twenty third attempt. The note was
• 7:31
  later submitted as evidence in Tartaglioni's criminal case and was
• 7:34
  placed under seal amid a dispute over his legal representation
• 7:39
  such bs. The whole thing's a bunch of bs. Four
• 7:42
  days later, Oh yeah, I found this letter of four
• 7:44
  days later Hey, guys, Look, I know you don't know
• 7:47
  this and you didn't learn this in history class, but
• 7:49
  I was actually one of the people who signed the
• 7:52
  Declaration of Independence. Yeah, I have the copyright here. You
• 7:55
  want to see it. And the fact that the legacy
• 7:57
  media just runs with it. Oh yeah, nek Tartaglioni he
• 8:01
  found a letter Jeffrey Epstein left a suicide note. Epstein
• 8:06
  said he never had any issues with Tartaglioni, wasn't threatened
• 8:09
  by him and didn't want to make up something that
• 8:11
  isn't there. Tartaglioni said he didn't have any issues being
• 8:14
  epstein cell mate, though he said they kept their conversations
• 8:17
  to a minimum. On July twenty third, he said he
• 8:21
  thought Epstein was having a heart attack because his eyes
• 8:23
  were open and he appeared to be snoring. Yeah, because
• 8:26
  you were choking him out like fucking hoist, Gracie. Epstein
• 8:30
  and Tartaglioni shared a sell for about two weeks, beginning
• 8:33
  soon after Epstein's July six, twenty nineteen arrest, and ending
• 8:38
  with the suspected suicide attempt. You mean after they put
• 8:41
  him in gen pop At first, after that gigantic screw up. Ah, yeah,
• 8:46
  let's pull him out of gen Pop and then we'll
• 8:48
  put him in with a guy that's charged with four homicides.
• 8:52
  Hell of an idea great job. Both were awaiting trials,
• 8:56
  Epstein on sex trafficking charges and Tartaglioni on charge is
• 9:00
  that in twenty sixteen he killed four men, including a
• 9:03
  man he tortured and strangled overstolen drug money. Yeah, Tartaglioni
• 9:07
  never strangled anybody, has never done anything of the sort.
• 9:12
  But sure, let's believe him when he says that he
• 9:14
  didn't hurt Jeffrey Epstein. Like, what are we doing right now?
• 9:20
  And how can you take yourself serious if you actually
• 9:22
  believe that. Tartaglioni, who had been an officer in the
• 9:26
  Hudson River valley of Briarcliffe, Manor, was convicted in twenty
• 9:30
  twenty three. He's currently incarcerated at a federal penitentiary in California,
• 9:35
  and his petition President Donald Trump for a pardon. Oh
• 9:39
  well that's convenient. Huh Hey, Donald Trump, I found this
• 9:42
  letter saying Epstein killed himself. You think your boy can
• 9:45
  get a pardon? Can I get on the gravy train?
• 9:47
  Like Glaine. Hell, maybe the whole entire Maga verse will
• 9:53
  have Glen Maxwell and Nicholas Tartaglioni set up a podcast
• 9:56
  with each other. That would be great, right, that would
• 9:59
  be fad pastic. Epstein was without a cell mate when
• 10:03
  he was found dead at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in
• 10:06
  Manhattan on August tenth, twenty nineteen. Authorities have pointed to
• 10:11
  a series of missteps by jail personnel, including browsing the
• 10:14
  Internet and sleeping when they should have been checking on
• 10:17
  Epstein for allowing him to take his own life. And
• 10:21
  even if you don't believe, okay, that anything untowards happened
• 10:24
  in that jail. So we have a whole ass OIG
• 10:27
  report that came out about systemic issues, and can you
• 10:32
  point to me which of those have been fixed? Oh?
• 10:35
  That's right, none of them got it, okay. Cool. Officials
• 10:40
  said they found the handwritten note in Epstein's cell at
• 10:42
  the time of his death, but that it didn't appear
• 10:44
  to be a suicide note. Rather, they said it appeared
• 10:47
  to be a list of grievances about conditions at the jail,
• 10:50
  including about food, showers and the presence of bugs. Well,
• 10:54
  just like I thought yesterday this notes a bunch of rubbish,
• 10:57
  bunch of bs, and I do not believe that jel
• 11:00
  for Epstein wrote it. And I think it's just way
• 11:02
  too convenient that somebody like Tartagleoni would find this quote
• 11:05
  unquote note that helps his narrative, a note that was
• 11:09
  found four days later. Nobody tossed the cell, nobody was
• 11:12
  looking for evidence, nobody investigated what happened in that cell,
• 11:15
  And if that's the case, that's a whole last other
• 11:17
  problem in itself. So we'll see if this note gets
• 11:21
  authenticated or not. But either way, I don't think Epstein
• 11:24
  wrote it. So we'll see where it all ends up.
• 11:27
  But as of now, I'm calling this one a bunch
• 11:30
  of bs. All of the information that goes with this
• 11:34
