New York Times petitions judge to unseal Jeffrey Epstein suicide note

The note, reportedly found by cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione after Epstein's July 2019 suicide attempt, was sealed in Tartaglione's criminal case and excluded from the Justice Department's released files.
The Times said that meant federal investigators lacked access after Epstein's death, and a newly released document says Tartaglione's lawyers authenticated the note without explaining how.
Epstein's 2019 death in Manhattan federal custody was officially ruled a suicide, but the note was absent from later official inquiries, including a 2023 DOJ inspector general report, fuelling persistent conspiracy theories.
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?
