New York Times seeks unsealing of Jeffrey Epstein's purported suicide note

The note, reportedly found in a Manhattan jail in July 2019 by cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione, has been sealed in a New York federal courthouse for nearly seven years.
The Times said the message included the words “time to say goodbye”, while Justice Department investigators and a department spokeswoman said the agency had not seen it.
Documents indicate Tartaglione’s lawyers authenticated the note, which could shed light on Epstein’s state of mind before he was later found dead in jail as the Justice Department releases millions of related pages.
Could the contents of Epstein’s sealed suicide note finally provide clarity—or raise even more questions—about the circumstances of his controversial death?
Why has the Justice Department never accessed or released Epstein’s note, and what might its disclosure reveal about gaps in the prison’s investigation?
