What does the Trump administration's release of Epstein's letter entail?
Surprise, surprise, Josh Welch is back. And also, surprise, surprise, Trump's DOJ just released a Jeffrey Epstein suicide note. I'm calling BS on it. Just want to get that out on the front end of this. Pop this up. uh david enric post epstein's apparent suicide note unsealed today at the request of the new york times here's what it says they investigated me for months found nothing nothing is in cap block which is eerily familiar it is a treat to be able to choose one's time to say goodbye what you want me to do bust out crying and then we go to caps lock no fun not worth it um josh looks exactly like a donald trump tweet
I can just imagine in my waning hours as I'm in my cell that I'm going to put shit in all caps. I'm going to put all these exclamation points as I'm about to hang myself. I'm thinking about my whole life flash right by me and I exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point.
Okay. Let's just role play here for a second that Donald Trump did author allegedly this suicide note. I think that wasn't the final version. I think it might have been a little bit more detailed and somebody walked him back from it. What do you think?
The reason why we know that this didn't come from Trump is because there would have been a last sentence that would have said, oh, by the way, Donald Trump didn't have anything to do with any of this shit that people are talking about. And because it doesn't contain that sentence, I'm convinced that maybe Trump didn't write it.
All right. And so Epstein's cellmate, Nicholas Tartiglione, said he discovered the note in July 2019 after Mr. Epstein was found unresponsive with a strip of cloth wrapped around his neck. Mr. Epstein survived that incident, but he was found dead weeks later at the age of 66.
Why do the hosts doubt the authenticity of Epstein's suicide note?
And here's more reporting from The New York Times. The note was made public on Wednesday by Judge Kenneth M. Karas of Federal District Court in White Plains, New York, who oversaw the cellmates case. The judge acted after the New York Times petitioned the court last Thursday to unseal the document and publish an article in which Mr. Tartaglione described the note and how it came into his possession. The Times has not authenticated whether Mr. Epstein wrote the note, which was placed on the court docket Wednesday evening. And the release of the note came on the same day that the House Oversight Committee held a closed door meeting with Treasury Secretary Howard Letnick. And you may remember Howard Letnick is the guy that came out in the Epstein files who's basically begging Epstein if he can stop by his island on his yacht and he's giving his kids ages and genders.
It's really weird shit.
And I think he said prior to his testimony that he hadn't spoken or talked to Jeffrey Epstein since 2005. Barely knew him. It turned off fine. And then there's all these emails like, yeah, it's kind of a comedy show. You can't keep up with all the lying. Who's lying the most? This guy, Tartaglione. He was sentenced recently to four consecutive life sentences. He's a former police officer. He finds this note, he says, four days after Epstein's suicide attempt. And keep in mind, he's trying to use this note in a court proceeding to get leniency from a judge because he's arguing or using it to show that he tried to save his life. So put that in context. If you're a defendant, how bad must it be that you're asking for leniency because you tried to save Jeffrey Epstein's life?
There's probably not a lot of love to give for you, even if you did do that, which you didn't, I'm sure. But yeah, this is comical at best.
And here is Ro Khanna on Howard Letnick. Play the clip.
I know why that interview was not videotaped. If Donald Trump had seen the video transcript, he would have fired Howard Letnick. It was really embarrassing. He was asked very straightforward questions about whether he regretted misleading the American people. I mean, he said that he would never see Epstein again in 2005. And everyone knows that he took his wife and kids to see Epstein in 2012.
