qwant news | Jeffrey Epstein’s Possible Suicide Note Reportedly Locked In a Courthouse AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A New York Times report says a possible suicide note written by Jeffrey Epstein was found in July 2019 by his cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, after Epstein survived an initial suicide attempt and weeks before his death; the note, allegedly torn from a yellow legal pad and hidden in a graphic novel, reportedly reads “time to say goodbye” and contains remarks about investigators finding nothing. The note was sealed by Judge Kenneth M. Karas in White Plains and later ordered returned to the court amid a protracted dispute among Tartaglione’s lawyers, with an outside attorney appointed to investigate and one lawyer disqualified. Tartaglione, a former police officer serving four life sentences for a quadruple homicide and maintaining his innocence, claims his attorneys used handwriting experts to authenticate the note, but the court has declined to comment, keeping related filings sealed to protect attorney‑client privilege.

9News | Purported Jeffrey Epstein suicide note being kept hidden by court: report by 9News AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The New York Times reports that Jeffrey Epstein’s former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, says Epstein wrote a suicide note that was subsequently hidden by a federal court. According to Tartaglione, the yellow‑paper note—found torn from a legal pad inside a graphic novel—read, “What do you want me to do, bust out crying? Time to say goodbye.” He told his lawyer about the note after Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell; the lawyer allegedly turned the note over to a district courthouse, which now holds it and has been petitioned to release it. The note has not appeared in the as‑yet‑released Epstein files or formal investigations. Tartaglione, serving life sentences for unrelated murders, denies any role in Epstein’s death, and the Metropolitan Correctional Centre where the incident occurred was later closed.

qwant news | Jeffrey Epstein Cellmate Reveals Details of Possible Suicide Note AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A cellmate of Jeffrey Epstein, convicted murderer Nicholas Tartaglione, told The New York Times he discovered a purported suicide note tucked inside a book in Epstein’s jail cell in July 2019, a month before the financier’s apparent suicide on August 10, 2019. The note—said to claim investigators “found nothing” and to read “time to say goodbye”—was sealed as part of Tartaglione’s criminal case, so DOJ investigators have not seen it, though the department has produced nearly three million pages of records. The Times has petitioned a federal judge to unseal the note, arguing it could illuminate Epstein’s mindset in the days leading up to his death while he awaited federal sex‑trafficking charges at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. Tartaglione, a former New York suburban police officer serving four consecutive life sentences for multiple murders and kidnappings, gave the note to his lawyers after claiming Epstein told officials he had been attacked and was not suicidal.

qwant news | Exclusive | Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer Kathy Ruemmler turned down $30M to represent Jeffrey Epstein after his 2019 arrest: sources AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Goldman Sachs’ chief legal officer Kathy Ruemmler announced she will leave the firm on June 30, citing the “noise and distraction” generated by her past email communications with the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. According to sources, Ruemmler was asked in July 2019 to join Epstein’s defense team and later offered a flat $30 million to quit her job and represent him, both offers she rejected—partly because her employer, Latham & Watkins, would not permit it. She attended Epstein’s 2019 arraignment not as a friend but as a gatekeeper for a major client (the Swiss bank Rothschild Group) her firm represented, and she has since disclosed and reviewed all related emails, even funding external counsel herself. Goldman’s CEO David Solomon urged her to stay, believing she did nothing wrong, and Ruemmler plans to testify before a House committee to clarify how the “Epstein hysteria” has affected people uninvolved in his crimes.

ABC News: Top Stories | Ex-cellmate says he found suicide note from Jeffrey Epstein AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A former cellmate of Jeffrey Epstein, convicted quadruple murderer Nicholas Tartaglione, told The New York Times that he discovered a handwritten note—purportedly a suicide note by Epstein—tucked inside a book and written on a yellow legal‑pad paper in July 2019, shortly after Epstein’s first failed suicide attempt and two weeks before Epstein ultimately died by hanging in his Manhattan jail cell. The note, now sealed within Tartaglione’s criminal case file, has prompted The Times to ask a federal judge to unseal it, arguing that Tartaglione has publicly discussed its contents, while U.S. prosecutors say they have no knowledge of any such note. A Justice Department chart referenced the note’s existence, and Tartaglione’s lawyer confirmed it was authenticated in 2020, though details remain under seal. The article also recaps Epstein’s background—a financier who faced multiple sex‑trafficking charges and served 13 months of an 18‑month sentence before his 2019 death—and notes that Tartaglione was sentenced to four consecutive life terms in 2024, with his appeal pending.

qwant news | Named in Epstein’s Will Days Before Investigation: Can Receiving Money From a Criminal Get You Investigated? AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article explains that although being named in a will is not itself illegal, receiving a large bequest from a known criminal such as Jeffrey Epstein can trigger criminal investigations, as authorities view the financial link as a potential signal of influence, corruption or prior misconduct. It illustrates this with the case of Edward Juul Rod‑Larsen, who was left $5 million in Epstein’s will shortly before his death, prompting Norwegian and French probes into his diplomat parents for “aggravated corruption” and “complicity.” Investigators focus less on whether money actually changed hands and more on why the transfer was intended, treating unusual or high‑value connections to high‑risk individuals as grounds for broader scrutiny that can extend across borders and involve public officials, nonprofits, or global institutions. The piece warns that any documented financial association with a criminal can create legal exposure long after the relationship ends, even without any proven wrongdoing.

The New Republic | Epstein May Have Left a Suicide Note—and DOJ Didn’t Mention It by Finn Hartnett AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death, officially ruled a suicide, has taken on new intrigue after a former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, told The New York Times he discovered a handwritten note a month before Epstein’s fatal attempt; the note—found tucked in a graphic‑novel legal pad—read “time to say goodbye” and included a line about “what do you want me to do, bust out crying?” Tartaglione, who is serving a life sentence for a quadruple homicide, said the note was sealed by a federal judge during his own criminal case, and the paper has asked the judge to unseal it. A Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed the agency has not seen the note and it was not mentioned in its investigation, leaving the alleged note as another piece of evidence that fuels ongoing conspiracy theories about how a high‑security inmate could die under guard.

qwant news | Why Jeffrey Epstein’s purported suicide note is still being kept secret: ‘Time to say goodbye’ AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Jeffrey Epstein allegedly wrote a suicide note in his New‑York City federal lockup before his 2019 death, according to his then‑cellmate, former NYPD officer Nicholas Tartaglione, who told the New York Times that the note—scrawled on yellow legal paper and hidden inside a graphic novel—proclaimed Epstein’s innocence and ended with “Time to say goodbye.” Although the note was verified as Epstein’s within a year, a federal judge has kept it sealed as part of Tartaglione’s ongoing effort to clear his name of the four murders for which he was convicted, and it has not been included in the Department of Justice’s released Epstein files. Consequently, the contents remain hidden from investigators and the public seven years after Epstein’s death.

Times of India | 'Time to say goodbye' :Jeffrey Epstein's suicide note revealed via former cellmate account, remains sealed by court AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier who died by suicide in a New York federal jail in 2019, is reported to have written a note shortly before his death, according to his former cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione. Tartaglione says he found the yellow‑paper note tucked in a graphic novel left in their cell after Epstein was moved in July 2019; the handwritten message, which reads “Time to say goodbye” and includes a defiant “What do you want me to do, bust out crying?” suggests Epstein maintained his innocence despite an ongoing investigation. Handwriting experts later verified the note as Epstein’s, and Tartaglione turned it over to his lawyers, who submitted it to a federal court where a judge sealed it. The sealed document has not been released to investigators or the public, was omitted from the Justice Department’s 2023 review of Epstein’s death, and remains confidential even as questions linger over the jail’s security failures surrounding his suicide.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Secret Epstein Suicide Note Could Be Exposed in Court Fight by Annabella Rosciglione AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The New York Times has petitioned a federal judge to unseal a suicide note allegedly written by Jeffrey Epstein during his first, failed attempt to take his own life in July 2019; the note was reportedly found by his cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, inside a graphic novel and said something like, “What do you want me to do, bust out crying? Time to say goodbye.” Because the note was sealed as part of Tartaglione’s own criminal case, federal investigators have not accessed it, and it was omitted from the Department of Justice files released about Epstein’s death—a death officially ruled a suicide but that has spawned numerous conspiracy theories. The Times’ request seeks to make the note public, even though it has not been referenced in any official investigations, including the 2023 DOJ Inspector General report, despite former Attorney General William Barr’s expressed concerns about the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death.

qwant news | Why Jeffrey Epstein's purported suicide note is still being kept secret: 'Time to say goodbye' AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Jeffrey Epstein allegedly wrote a suicide note in 2019 while incarcerated at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, according to his former cell‑mate, former police officer Nicholas Tartaglible, who says the note was hidden in a graphic novel and later handed to his lawyers. The handwritten message—on yellow legal paper and reportedly reading lines such as “What do you want me to do, bust out crying?” and “Time to say goodbye”—asserted Epstein’s innocence before his death. Although the note was verified as Epstein’s writing, a federal judge has kept it sealed as part of Tartaglible’s ongoing effort to clear his name in the four murders for which he was convicted, and it has not been released to investigators or the public despite a recent Department of Justice file dump.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Epstein Reporter Reveals Why She Thinks Ghislaine Is Lining Up a Lifeline by Julia Ornedo AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Reporter Julie K. Brown, whose investigative work helped bring down Jeffrey Epstein, says she believes Ghislaine Maxwell will eventually secure a pardon or commutation because she “knows too much” about Epstein’s crimes and can potentially release damaging information on powerful men, including a note referencing Wall Street billionaire Leon Black. Maxwell, serving a 20‑year sentence in Texas, has a lawyer who is optimistic about a clemency chance, while former President Donald Trump has not ruled it out. The prospect of a pardon has sparked division: some Republican lawmakers support it, but many MAGA supporters and Epstein survivors, including figures like Marjorie Taylor‑Greene, strongly oppose any relief for Maxwell, viewing her as a central abuser in the scandal.

The Guardian | Gordon Brown says he queried Andrew’s ‘unacceptable costs’ as trade envoy by Rowena Mason Whitehall editor AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Gordon Brown revealed that in 2008 he ordered a colleague in the business department to question Prince Andrew — Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor — about “unacceptable costs” incurred while serving as a UK trade envoy, and he now urges police to widen their probe to include the prince’s use of public money. Brown noted that Prince Andrew regularly travelled on RAF flights and had asked for a separate fleet of government‑funded aircraft, a request the former chancellor rejected and reported to the queen. After Prince Andrew’s February arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office amid investigations into his dealings with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Brown called for officials from the Ministry of Defence, the Department for Business and Trade and the Foreign Office to be interviewed and their records examined, and for a parliamentary select committee to assess whether public funds were misused for private or illicit purposes.

ABC News: Top Stories | New date set for Bondi deposition in House Oversight's Epstein probe AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A new deposition date has been set for former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi in the House Oversight Committee’s investigation of Jeffrey Epstein after Rep. Robert Garcia, the committee’s lead Democrat, introduced a resolution to hold Bondi in civil contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena. Garcia announced the contempt filing on the House floor, noting that action was finally required to compel Republican cooperation. The committee confirmed that Bondi will appear on May 29, after earlier expectations for a closed‑door testimony on April 14 were nullified when the Justice Department said the subpoena no longer applied following her removal from office by President Trump. If the civil contempt effort succeeds, a federal judge could order Bondi to testify, elevating the dispute to the courts. The deposition is part of the broader, bipartisan‑criticized probe into the handling of Epstein‑related documents and the Justice Department’s implementation of the Epstein Transparency Act.

bing news | Rep. Anna Paulina Luna takes Pod Force One behind the scenes of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s Epstein testimony — and how Dems’ ploy ‘backfired’ AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna told host Miranda Devine on “Pod Force One” that Democrats’ attempts to weaponize the Jeffrey Epstein scandal against former President Donald Trump have “backfired,” noting that many witnesses exonerated Trump and that accusations branding him a pedophile are “blatant lies.” Luna, a member of the House Oversight Committee, criticized the same lawmakers who championed Epstein‑justice hearings while opposing her push for transparency about congressional “slush funds” used to settle sexual‑assault claims. She recounted the committee’s February testimonies of Bill and Hillary Clinton, highlighting Bill Clinton’s denial of ever visiting Epstein’s island despite travel on his plane, and announced that Bill Gates will be subpoenaed to discuss his ties to the financier. Luna framed the investigation as a genuine pursuit of justice amid what she described as a Democratic smear campaign against Trump.

New Statesman | Morgan McSweeney can’t believe the Prince of Darkness betrayed him by Will Dunn AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Morgan McSweeney, a former No 10 chief of staff, testified before the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, revealing that he and Prime Minister Keir Starmer were misled about Peter Mandelson’s suitability as Britain’s ambassador to the United States. Despite a due‑diligence file highlighting Mandelson’s scandal‑ridden past—including links to Jeffrey Epstein and a history of controversial behaviour—the government appointed him, hoping his name recognition and former EU trade commissioner role would secure a trade deal. McSweeney described feeling “like a knife through my soul” when the revelations emerged, insisting he had never been swayed by Mandelson and that the appointment was a gross lapse in judgment that undermined public trust in the Labour administration.

ABC News: Top Stories | Judge blocks DOJ's attempt to move Maurene Comey's lawsuit out of court AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A federal judge in New York rejected the Justice Department’s attempt to transfer Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey’s wrongful‑termination lawsuit out of court, keeping the case before him because her dismissal was carried out under the President’s Article II executive authority rather than standard civil‑service procedures. Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, left the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York last year and has sued the DOJ, alleging she was fired arbitrarily because of her father’s prominence and perceived political affiliations. The department argued the dispute should be heard by the Merit Systems Protection Board, but the judge noted that Comey was a career prosecutor who handled high‑profile cases—including those against Sean “Diddy” Combs, Robert Hadden, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell—and was terminated with a single reason: the President’s constitutional power to remove federal employees. The next hearing is set for May 28.

Home - CBSNews.com | Judge allows Maurene Comey's lawsuit challenging her firing to proceed AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A federal judge has ruled that former assistant U.S. attorney Maurene Comey’s lawsuit challenging her dismissal by President Trump can proceed in federal court. Judge Jesse Furman held that her firing, which was carried out under Article II of the Constitution rather than a civil‑service statute, falls outside the jurisdiction of the Merit Systems Protection Board, giving the court authority to hear the case. Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, alleges she was removed because of the president’s animus toward her father and is seeking reinstatement and back pay. The Trump administration had asked the court to dismiss the suit, arguing it lacked jurisdiction, but the judge rejected that argument.
