Judge releases alleged Epstein suicide note, authenticity undetermined
US District Judge Kenneth Karas released a document described as Jeffrey Epstein's suicide note, but he did not rule on its authenticity and said it is a public judicial record. The note appeared in the criminal case of Epstein’s cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, who is serving multiple life sentences. Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. The release followed New York Times reporting and scrutiny over Epstein-related files, which federal investigators had not previously seen.
