Epstein Cellmate Reveals Hidden DEATH NOTE

0:00 Turning now to Jeffrey Epstein.

0:02 Shocking piece of news that we've now learned after some seven years.

0:05 Let's go and put this up here on the screen.

0:07 Jeffrey Epstein's possible suicide note was hidden from public view.

0:13 Interesting, huh?

0:14 So, you've had the release of all these different Epstein files.

0:16 You've had all this testimony, OIG reports from the Department of Justice.

0:20 It's been, you know, so many years now,

0:23 seven years almost to the day, uh, since Epstein allegedly killed himself.

0:28 let's just say died in federal custody.

0:30 And in all that time period, we did not know this basic fact.

0:34 A suicide note purportedly written by Epstein in his jail cell

0:38 has been kept secret now locked up in a New York courthouse.

0:42 A cellmate said he discovered the note in July 2019 after

0:46 Epstein was found unresponsive with a strip of cloth around his neck.

0:50 Epste incident, but weeks later was found dead in the jail.

0:54 The note was eventually sealed by a federal judge

0:58 as a part of the cellmate's own criminal case.

1:01 That means investigators scrutinizing his death lacked what

1:05 would have been a key piece of evidence.

1:07 On Thursday, the Times petitioned a judge to unseal

1:10 the note which said it was quote time to say goodbye.

1:14 The the cellmate recalled while Tartu the cellmate

1:18 mentioned that note on a podcast last year.

1:20 The scrolled message has remained hidden from public view,

1:23 even at a time of unprecedented transparency.

1:26 And since December, the Justice Department has released all of these pages,

1:29 millions of pages of documents.

1:31 The Times has not seen the note.

1:32 They can't find it in the Epstein files.

1:34 The DOJ said the agency had not even seen it.

1:36 But a cryptic two-page chronology in the records,

1:40 and this was credit again to the Times for finding this, became tangled up.

1:43 The chronology says that the lawyers authenticated the note,

1:47 though it does not explain how.

1:48 If it was written by Epstein,

1:50 the message would provide insights into his state of mind

1:52 in the weeks before he died hanging from a bunk bed.

1:56 And the DOJ said that in response to a federal law,

1:58 they underwent an exhausted effort to collect

2:00 all the records in that possession.

2:01 So basically, as of right now, it's not coming out.

2:04 It's sealed up in this particular case.

2:07 This guy is now currently serving four life sentences,

2:09 and he's pursuing an appeal.

2:11 As long as that's an appeal, it's going to remain sealed.

2:13 He, like we said, I mean, he claims it was just a scrolled note.

2:16 Time to say good.

2:17 I mean, maybe.

2:18 I don't know.

2:19 By the way, you know, guy serving four life sentences in cell with Epstein.

2:23 Okay.

2:23 No, like somebody with, you know, it's it's a very important detail situation.

2:27 So, this guy is a former cop

2:30 who was convicted of drug trafficking and murder of four different people.

2:34 That's why his sentence is so extensive.

2:38 So, why was he put why was he

2:40 Epstein's cellmate to begin with is question number one.

2:44 Number two, it's very I have a lot of questions about this story.

2:48 It's eyebrow rais.

2:49 He's the one who found the note and they claim Oh,

2:52 we we verified we confirmed it was Totally Epstein's handwriting.

2:55 Can you see it?

2:56 No,

2:57 you can't see it, but just take our word for it.

2:59 So, I don't know.

3:00 Um, but interesting reporting from the Times here at the existence of this.

3:04 you know, if if it was released, of course,

3:06 you could have independent analysis that was done,

3:09 handwriting confirmation to see whether or not this note was legitimate.

3:12 Obviously, the content of this alleged suicide note, you know,

3:16 if he truly did pen a suicide note saying,

3:18 "Hey, I'm out of here and thanks for the good

3:21 times," or whatever it is that this note contains.

3:23 Obviously, that would be very significant in terms of helping to affirm

3:27 or rebut some of the conspiracies around the um the death of Jeffrey Epstein.

3:32 So, um, so anyway, a lot of questions remain on that one.

3:36 At the same time, this is crazy.

3:37 Put D2 up on the screen.

3:39 Apparently, Republicans are split on the idea of clemency for Glaine Maxwell.

3:46 So, you've got Republicans on this House panel who

3:49 are trying to sell this bill of goods that, oh, we'll grant her clemency.

3:53 We have Trump GL grant her clemency and then she will testify and she

3:57 will hand in all of the perpetrators and it will help us with our investigation.

4:03 I mean, of course the victims are of course this is a disgusting idea.

4:07 Of course, it's an insane idea because you're going to trust this lady.

4:11 She is one of the greatest criminals here in all of this enabled

4:15 all of this abuse and you're going to set her free.

4:19 I mean, it is crazy that she's the only one who's in prison,

4:22 but at least one person is in prison serving jail time for these um you know,

4:26 horrific crimes that were committed.

4:28 So, in any case, this is the latest

4:30 line that they're trying to sell of like, oh,

4:32 it's actually going to be good for the victims

4:34 if we let Gain Maxwell off the hook here.

4:36 Crazy.

4:37 Yeah, I I look, I don't really know what's going on.

4:39 Uh I do know that the House committee,

4:41 you know, continues some of this work uh specifically.

4:45 And by the way, there's been some other Epstein

4:46 reports which we again haven't had as much time to.

4:50 Look, nothing here is too crazy, but they just show, for example,

4:54 there is still quote accountability and other people

4:57 who have been disgraced by the Epstein affair.

4:59 It's just that none of them who are

5:00 being removed or resigning are in our government.

5:03 Let's go to the next one, please, and put this up here on the screen.

5:06 This is just from two days ago.

5:08 Bard's colleg's president is going to retire

5:11 after scrutiny of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

5:14 Leon Botstein, who is president of Bard College for half a century,

5:18 will retire at the end of June.

5:20 He didn't mention Epstein except saying he had waited to his announced

5:24 retirement publicly until the completion

5:26 of an independent review of his relationship.

5:28 Now to be clear, he was not accused of wrongdoing or anything uh with Epstein,

5:33 but he was among quote a long list of prominent and notable men who

5:38 maintained friendly relationship with him for years

5:41 despite his status as a convicted sex offender.

5:44 The actual Epstein files show that they had met on multiple occasions,

5:49 sometimes Epstein arriving at Bard by helicopter.

5:53 And the president had also suggested Epstein be a guest

5:56 at the 2013 graduation ceremonies that they meet for an opera performance.

6:02 In addition, he reached out to him

6:04 weeks after the Miami Herald reporting saying, quote,

6:08 "I want you to know I hope you're holding up as well as can

6:11 be expected and separately referred to his friendship in at least two emails.

6:16 Epsteered $150,000 to him in 2016,

6:20 which the president previously said he donated to the college

6:24 and had also previously denied having any personal relationship with the man.

6:29 So, if Bard College apparently has more independence and of a review

6:33 than anybody in the United States government makes a lot of sense.

6:36 Makes a lot of sense.

6:38 And then finally, big shout out to our friend Pablo Tore who

6:41 did a new Epstein uh new Epstein uh revelation on his podcast.

6:45 We just wanted to play a little bit of a clip to give him a shout out.

6:47 Let's take a listen.

6:48 This one involves Harvard University.

6:50 What we started with was this 2003 quote about Epstein

6:54 from Professor Martin Novak as read by PTFO correspondent Drew Patel,

6:59 the managing editor of my old college newspaper, The Harvard Crimson.

7:04 He is one of the most pleasant philanthropists to deal with.

7:07 Novak says unlike many people who support science,

7:10 he supports science without any conditions.

7:13 There are not any disadvantages to associating with him.

7:17 And then we unearthed proof of the Jeffrey E.

7:19 Epstein fund for women's athletics which was

7:23 specially earmarked for the women's rugby team.

7:25 And it had a Harvard shield and the word

7:27 Veritoss across the top of this confidential document.

7:31 Although according to multiple former rugby players we talked to, the team

7:35 was never informed that the money came from Jeffrey Epste.

7:39 In fact, they were told to keep the fund quiet.

7:42 What we then showed was how Harvard's 2020 report concerning Jeffrey E.

7:47 Epstein's connections to Harvard University was presented to the public

7:50 as this thorough self-investigation spanning 250,000 pages of documents.

7:57 And yet, it did not discuss the Jeffrey E.

8:00 Epstein Fund for Women's Athletics or the president

8:04 of Harvard who personally solicited it.

8:08 Lawrence H.

8:09 Summers.

8:11 Larry Summers was the ex- Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton,

8:14 who was so close to Epste that Epstein

8:17 was calling himself Summers wingman as recently as 2018.

8:22 In fact, Summers rode on Epstein's plane in 2004

8:26 ahead of the creation of the Jeffrey E.

8:28 Epstein Fund for Women's Athletics.

8:31 And then Summers spent part of his own

8:32 honeymoon on Epstein Island the next year in 2005.

8:38 And if you're wondering what a Harvard spokesperson told

8:40 us in response to a detailed list of questions, they declined comment,

8:46 but did point out that Epstein's $25,000 fund

8:49 for women's athletics became part of a larger donation

8:53 Harvard eventually made after that 2020 self-report to two

8:56 organizations supporting victims of human trafficking and sexual assault.

9:01 Meanwhile, a spokesman for Larry Summers has since told us

9:04 that Summers was in fact interviewed

9:06 as part of Harvard's 2020 self-investigation

9:09 and that Summers fundraising as Harvard president was done quote

9:13 with the full involvement of the development office and the university's legal,

9:18 financial, and due diligence functions end quote.

9:22 and further, all such fundraising happened,

9:25 quote, prior to Epstein's 2006 arrest.

9:29 End quote.

9:30 Nice work there by Pablo.

9:31 They did a good job compiling it all together,

9:33 just furthering more of what we know,

9:35 these elite universities, the cozy little relationships,

9:38 all these college presidents, how he was always getting together.

9:41 Now we have a suicide note.

9:42 So, let's see.

9:43 Uh, let's see.

9:44 Let's just say let's see what it says.

9:45 We pass a piece of legislation.

9:47 Let's put it to bed.

9:48 Let's release it to the public and then we can

9:50 all decide for ourselves what exactly he was trying to say.

9:53 All right, we got Richard Wolf standing by.
