The undated, unsigned document was docketed in ex-cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione’s case and says, “They investigated me for month – found NOTHING!!!”
The Justice Department did not oppose release after The New York Times sought disclosure, but said it could not verify the note or the factual narrative around it.
Tartaglione says he found the note after Epstein’s July 2019 apparent suicide attempt in Manhattan jail; Epstein later died there, though officials say evidence supports suicide, not murder.
Why was Epstein's note concealed for years, and what does its release reveal about government transparency?
How will this long-hidden note impact the ongoing 2026 investigation into the full circumstances of Epstein's death?
