Jeffrey Epstein claimed that in the early hours of July 23, 2019, his cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione—an ex-cop then awaiting trial for multiple murders—tried to kill him. According to corrections officers’ logs, Epstein was found in his cell in a fetal position, barely responsive, with orange fabric tied around his neck. He initially told officers he believed Tartaglione attacked him, alleging threats and pressure to pay up, fear of violence because of his charges, and that Tartaglione had been harassing him. But Epstein later retracted that claim, saying he couldn’t remember exactly what happened.
Investigations into the incident have raised doubts about what actually took place. The Metropolitan Correctional Center’s video system either didn’t capture the event or footage was missing. Jail staff and psychologists have considered several possibilities: that Epstein was assaulted, but also that the event could have been a suicide attempt—whether planned, practiced, or accidental—or something else altogether. The lack of clear evidence, conflicting statements from Epstein and Tartaglione, and mislaid video have all contributed to lingering questions.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. One of the main things that people seem
to miss when we're talking about Jeffrey Epstein's death is
the incident that led up to the actual event where
Jeffrey Epstein lost his life, and that incident is his
first alleged suicide attempt. While he was in the jail
(00:21):
cell with Acelli, who was looking at four homicides, and
in the initial stages of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged first suicide attempt,
Jeffrey Epstein said that his cellmate Nicholas Startaglioni was the
one who attempted to kill him, was the one who
assaulted him. Now, of course, star Taglioni says that never
happened and he was the one who saved Jeffrey Epstein.
(00:43):
But I've never bought that, not for a minute, and
I don't believe a damn thing the man has to say.
To be honest with you, we're talking about a four
time murderer. Folks convicted locked away should have never been
in a jail cell with Epstein in the first place.
A few weeks leading up to him being in that
jail cell, with Epstein. He was caught with contraband in
(01:04):
his jail cell, meaning TARTAGLIONI he had a phone in
his jail cell. But sure, let's move him into a
cell with Jeffrey Epstein. So look, when I talk about
the Epstein files, I'm talking about shit like this. Who
signed off on it, Who thought this was a good idea,
who okayed it? We don't know any of that stuff.
(01:24):
And just like with the Bill Barr deposition, a lot
of it's a bunch of bullshit. In that deposition, Bill
Barr said he never talked to anybody that was, you know,
celled up with Epstein, et cetera, which is a lie.
He talked to stone Reyes, he crote about it, but
all of a sudden now when he's being questioned in
that deposition, he never talked to anybody that was bunked
(01:47):
up with Epstein. It's all just a bunch of nonsense.
And they hope that it's confusing enough that people just
throw their hands up and say to hell with it all.
But unfortunately for them, I don't think that's going to happen.
And that's because there are just too many unexplained incidents,
too many unanswered questions and way too much bullshit that's
(02:07):
been pitched to us. So today we have an article
from CBS News and the headline the night Jeffrey Epstein
claimed his cellmate tried to kill him. This article was
authored by Dan Russell, Anik, Kara Tabachnik, and Graham Keels.
Jeffrey Epstein lay in the feudal position on the floor
(02:30):
of his jail cell, unresponsive, with an orange fabric noose
tied around his neck. The post midnight quiet of the
Metropolitan Correctional Center's secure housing unit was punctured as a
corrections officer call for help. It was one twenty seven
am on July twenty third, twenty nineteen, eighteen days before
(02:50):
Epstein's death. He was breathing, his eyes opening and shutting occasionally,
but he wouldn't or couldn't respond to officers questions and commands.
According to a confidential corrections officer's memo obtained by CBS News,
they hoisted inmates seven six, three, one, eight h zero
five to four onto a stretcher. Federal officials have repeatedly
(03:14):
said Epstein's eventual death by suicide allegedly was foreshadowed by
this earlier alleged attempt and I never bought it, not
for a minute. I told you all then when it
was happening that I didn't buy it. There's just too
much going on here, and until somebody can explain to
me how Tartaglioni was in that jail cell in the
first place, you're never ever going to convince me of
(03:36):
this narrative. Ever. Former Attorney General Bill Barr reiterated that
claim in an August closed door deposition before the House
Oversight Committee, which released the interview transcript last week. Barr,
who did not reply to questions from CBS News, said
in his testimony he knew about the July twenty third incident,
which he viewed as an attempted suicide. Barr said he
(03:59):
considered it is indicative of Epstein's state of mind. Well,
unfortunately for Barr and that narrative, literally nobody thought that
Epstein was suicidal. Nobody, not the psychologists, not his lawyers,
not his friends. But yet all of a sudden, they're
gonna tell us that Jeffrey Epstein was suicidal, or how
about this alternate theory, Nicholas Tartaglioni was put in that
(04:22):
cell for a reason, and that reason was to pass
a message on to Jeffrey Epstein. Look, buddy, either you
do it or will do it, we can reach out
and touch you anywhere, even in this jail cell. So,
like I've said from the jump, if Jeffrey Epstein did
take his own life, my guess is it was under threat.
But I still have reservations if that's even the case.
(04:43):
We have no idea what went on inside of that
cell block, zero idea. The guards were snoozing, the cameras
weren't recording. How the fuck do we know? Is it
just a trust me bro kind of situation where we
can just sit here and be like, ah, yeah, Bill
Barr arbiter of truth. I trust Darth Barr because in
my opinion, that ship is long sailed. We're at a
(05:04):
point now where it's put up or shut up, and
when it comes to the DOJ, there's no putting up
going on. Instead, it's all about obfue, skating and hiding shit.
But gel staff memos and other never before reported documents
obtained by CBS News, as well as interviews with more
than a dozen people who interacted with Epstein before and
after the incident, reveal a murcurer picture than the one
(05:27):
depicted by Barr. The new documents have surfaced amid persistent
speculation over Epstein's death, despite official conclusions that he died
by suicide. You know, CBS, not for nothing. But it
would have been nice if you asked these questions when
this was going on, you know, when people like me
were telling you that this was a big problem and
that we were having some serious issues with the truth.
(05:50):
But no, you continued to bang on with your bullshit,
talking about garbage that didn't even matter. And now here
you are, all these years later, talking about have some
official documents. I mean, great, better late than never. But bro,
your job breaking news is the whole power to account
and you've done a piss poor job of doing that
(06:11):
when we're talking about Jeffrey Epstein. As corrections officers entered
Epstein's cell on July twenty third, they were greeted by
a chaotic scene, according to a source close to the investigation.
And that's what we were talking about with Agent X.
Remember having some kind of whistleblower come forward, someone you know,
blow the doors off this thing. That's one way to
(06:32):
get to the truth. But besides that, we're gonna be
hard pressed. He's laying on the floor and as Bunkie
as screaming, I did nothing. I banged on my door
to get him out of my cell, the source said.
Corrections officers carried Epstein to a cell on a different
floor as he remained unresponsive. Moments after becoming alert, Epstein
(06:52):
gave officers his first account of what happened. The record
show he told them that he thought he had been
attacked by a cellmate, an ex cop who is awaiting
trial on four murders. So again, ask yourself, on what
fucking planet should this man even be in a cell
with Epstein in the first place. Wouldn't you have Epstein
(07:13):
in the cell with other special need inmates, you know,
somebody in there for similar crimes or white collar crimes,
or you know, something that's not violent. But no, they
put him in the jail cell with a guy that's
facing four homicides. And then the cameras just happen to
be not working, and the video gets misplaced and all
this other stuff occurs. Sure, if you want to believe
(07:35):
that that's what happened, you are more than entitled to
do that. Me personally, I don't believe one single word
of it, and in fact, I find it all insulting.
Moments after becoming alert, Epstein gave officers his first account
of what happened. The record show he told them that
he thought he had been attacked by his cellmate, an
(07:55):
ex cop who was awaiting trial on four murders. Now,
why would Epstein say that if it was isn't true?
What would he gain from that besides an enemy at jail?
What would he gain from that, besides a murderer who
might want to murder him? None of it makes sense.
But you would think that Epstein would be looking to
make friends inside of this jail. Right, I'm already in
here for Heinu's crimes, So I'm gonna double down and
(08:17):
snitch on somebody that had nothing to do with me
hurting myself. That doesn't sound very smart to me, and
I don't think that's a move that Epstein would have made.
He sat up on the bed and began telling me
that he thinks his bunkie tried to kill him, or
responding officer wrote in one memo. A senior officer wrote
in a separate incident report that Epstein initially implicated his
(08:40):
cellmate in the incident, claiming he had previously said things
that made Epstein feel threatened. That alone should have initiated
a gigantic investigation. Right, that alone should have had Epstein
and Nicholas Tartaglioni brought before some sort of panel for adjudication,
but no. Epstein would later back off the claim, saying
(09:03):
instead that he couldn't remember what happened. Yeah, he didn't
want to stitch. He's in jail. This is not rocket science.
And if anybody out there thinks that Epstein tried to
kill himself this first time around, I don't even know
what to say to you. There is zero down in
my mind, and I don't say that lightly. There is
zero down in my mind that Tartaglioni attacked Epstein in
(09:25):
this cell. And I'm sorry, I'm not gonna believe what
Nicholas Tartaglioni has to say. He has nothing to gain
by admitting what went down here. And furthermore, now we
see that people are pushing for a pardon for Nicholas
to Artagleoni. Go figure, and the cynic in me wonders,
is that payment for services rendered? I mean, he already
(09:46):
beat the death penalty. Is it just another part of
whatever kind of deal that he got hooked up with
for carrying out this attack on Epstein. Now look, I'm
not saying that's what happened, but we don't know. That's
my point. And the official in their that they're giving us,
that they're serving us up like a bunch of soft
sur of ice cream is straight trash. Nicholas S. Tartaglioni,
(10:07):
the cellmate, has repeatedly disputed the initial allegation and said
he tried to revive Epstein. As with Epstein's eventual death,
any camera footage of the incident was either mislaid, lost,
or never captured by the facility's faulty system. Well that's
pretty weird, huh. All of this stuff just magically happened
all at once, All of these coincidences collided all at
(10:30):
once and gave us this situation. What do you think
the odds of that are? I would say in the billions? Right,
all these different things happening at once, all these disasters,
And according to the DOJ and the BOP, it's not
like this was the secret. So did these people know
that these cameras weren't working? Meaning people inside of the jail,
(10:52):
and that gave them the cover they were looking for,
or more nefarious. Did somebody turn this shit off again?
We don't know, and that's all part of it. Keep
in mind confusion, getting people frustrated, never giving enough information
or just giving half truth. That is all part of
this gigantic cover up that we're witnessing. Tartaglioni has not
(11:15):
responded to email questions from CBS News. His lawyer said
Epstein's initial claim that Tartaglioni tried to kill him was
flatly not true. Yeah, sure, I believe that. I believe
that he was in that cell with Epstein, had his
headphones on, and then Epstein did a swan dive off
of the bunk onto the floor where Nicholas Tartaglioni. Mind,
(11:35):
you moved his bed because you know that's what people
do in jail, They moved their bed onto the floor
to provide accommodations for someone like Epstein. Sure, buddy, tell
me you've never been to jail or know anybody that's
been to jail without telling me. He saved his life
the first time, said Ingo Parsons, the attorney Tartaglioni said
(11:57):
in a recent interview with the podcast House and Habit
that Epstein also left a suicide note and it even
offered Tartaglioni money to kill him. Oh yeah, sure, because
we can all you know, we can confirm that. Let's
believe Nicholas Tartaglioni, the cartel associate who ended up killing
four people, sounds like a real credible guy to me.
(12:20):
Epstein expressed concern about his cellmate the day before the incident,
according to a corrections memo and a source who agreed
to speak with CBS News on the condition they not
be identified. All these years later, and people are still
scared to come forward and put their name to things.
And you wonder why Agent X doesn't want to talk
on the air. Epstein also claimed to both corrections officers
(12:44):
and the source that he felt threatened by Tartaglioni, a
hulking retired cob turned drug dealer who was charged and
later convicted of four murders. Well, yeah, I wouldn't want
to be in a jail cell with somebody like that.
Talk about a Psychopathstein said to the officer that he
hadn't previously been comfortable reporting the alleged threat because his
(13:05):
bunkie told him that if he beat him up because
of Epstein's child sex trafficking charges, the officers would not
report it. Well, he's probably telling the truth about that,
and that's because some of the staff I don't know
who was probably in on it. And again that speculation, right,
I don't know for sure, but there's no way that
this happened in a vacuum. Way too much shit went
(13:26):
south for this to all be coincidence. The wealthy former
financier Pedophile told jail officers that he believed our TAGLIONI
was trying to extort money from him and stated that
if he didn't pay him that he'd beat him up.
The officer wrote, he stated that this has been going
on for a week. So you put him in a
cell with a murderer. The dude threatens them, presses them,
(13:50):
extorts them, and then has the audacity to play the hero.
Oh yeah, I tried to save his life like an
everyday jail celled David Hasselhoff from Beywatch. Huh, mister life
saver over here, mister man who killed four people in
cold blood by strangling them, shooting them, and god knows
what else is now? The savior of pedophiles and child molesters?
(14:14):
Is that really the narrative that we're going with. Is
that really what you want to pitch us, because you
have to think we're fucking really stupid if you think
we're buying this whole entire nonsensical scenario and this BS narrative.
All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up episode one right here,
and in the next episode, we're gonna pick up where
we left off and wrap this bad boy up. All
(14:35):
of the information that goes with this episode can be
found in the description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome
to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode,
we're picking up where we left off with a CBS
article titled the night Jeffrey Epstein claimed is sel May
tried to kill him and again. This article was authored
(14:57):
by Dan rus Linik, Kara Tobotschnik, and Graham Kates. Epstein
told a different officer that on the eve of the
July incident, his cellmate had gotten a hold of a
copy of the New York Deli News. Epstein, a former
financial advisor, confidante to some of the world's most powerful people,
(15:18):
and prolific sexual abuser, of girls and young women, said Tartaglioni.
Pointed to a story about Epstein in the paper. Tar
Taglioni said it placed his net worth at seventy seven million.
According to Epstein, that figure matches evaluation for Epstein's New
York mansion cited in multiple articles in the paper that month.
(15:40):
So that's a bit of cooperation, right. This all came
out that month in those articles, and all of a sudden,
Tartaglioni has something to say, knows about Epstein's finances. Wasn't
something that was private at that point. So that certainly tracks,
and it certainly fits with the story that Epstein was
telling us. And again, look, I think that Epstein was
(16:00):
telling the truth when it comes to what he says
happened in that jail cell with Nicholas Tartaglioni. It all
just makes sense. Everything fits so perfectly. Now. Of course,
I won't sit here and tell you that I know
for sure, because I don't have those receipts. But in
my gut, I know for a fact that we're being
(16:20):
lied to, and I know for a fact that something
went on in that cell that had to do with
Jeffrey Epstein. Being assaulted, and I'm talking about the first
time around now is actual death. I don't know. Was
this a message? And then he was told to you know,
you better do it yourself or will do it for you,
like I was saying before. And that's always one of
(16:42):
the theories that really stuck with me because I think
it all fits the grander pattern of the kind of
people that we're talking about. And make no mistake, those
people that we're talking about, they're not above using systemic
failures inside of a jail or a prison that they
already know about in advance to set something in motion.
(17:03):
You have to understand the kind of people that we're
dealing with here, and those are the kind of people
that make shit like this happen. Epstein said that he
crumpled up the article, threw it out, and turned in
for bed. He told an officer he remembered waking up
at one am to get a drink of water and
walking back to his bed. The next thing he recalled,
(17:23):
he said, was roughly half an hour later, when corrections
officers rushed into his cell. Epstein initially said that he
thought he was attacked, but later equivocated. He asked to
be put back in the same cell with Star Taglione,
according to a twenty twenty three report by the Department
of Justice Inspector General, but also insisted he would never
(17:46):
have tried to kill himself. He didn't want to be
a snitch. Guys. Come on, He knew that he was
going to be in this lock up for quite some
time as he fought these charges, and he didn't want
to get the reputation of being a snitch. That's exactly
what happened here, nothing more, nothing less. So he retracted
what he said originally and decided to roll with the
(18:08):
punches because at that point he understood and understood very
clearly that the game had changed and that things weren't
going to be what they were the last time around
when he was arrested, and that started to dawn on him.
And I think that was a very, very sobering revelation
(18:29):
for Jeffrey Epstein, Whereas before he would have said, look,
TARTAGLIONI did this, and if you don't do something about it,
I'm going to call my people at Justice. Well, those
people at Justice at this point had already abandoned Epstein
because he was a burned asset. So nobody was rushing
in to help him this time around. In fact, they
had cut all ties at this point. So when you
(18:51):
start to look at it from that perspective, some of
that fog begins to lift. And again, I can't say
it for sure, right, I can't sit here and tell
you yeah, yeah, that's what happened one hundred percent. Here
are the receipts, YadA, YadA, YadA. Can't do that. But
what I can tell you is all the piece is fit.
And it's certainly not the narrative that they gave us.
(19:11):
That certainly didn't happen. Not the truth, no way, no
how So what's the most likely scenario my opinion, it's
the one we just laid out. After the incident, Epstein
was moved to a room where he was placed on
suicide watch and closely monitored for the next thirty one hours.
In his first minutes there, he twice sat on the
(19:32):
edge of the bed and began moving forward as if
he was attempting to fall over head first. A corrections
officer wrote told to stop, Epstein responded, Okay, I won't
do it again, and gave the thumbs up. Another corrections
officer assigned to watch over Epstein in the hours following
the July twenty third incident was Michael Thomas. According to
(19:52):
a document obtained by CBS News, Thomas is the officer
who discovered Epstein dead in his cell on August tenth
in twenty nineteen. According to the Justice Department, he and
another officer were later charged with falsifying documents related to
the night of Epstein's death, but those charges were dropped.
Of course they were. Of course they were. Nobody charged,
(20:15):
nobody held responsible, Just the same old bullshit from the government.
Oh was the systemic failure. We're gonna fix this. Nothing
gets fixed, nothing gets changed, and the song just continues
to play on, And of course that means it's gonna
happen again at some point. They already know they can
get away with it now. So the sky's a fucking limit,
isn't it. Because Epstein was on suicide watch after the
(20:39):
July twenty third incident, Thomas was required to record a
log of observations about Epstein in fifteen minute increments like
for real, my guy Thomas over here needs to be
completely investigated, and so does Tovia Noel. What were they buying?
Did they have any influx of money after this event.
(21:01):
All that stuff is relevant in my opinion, and that's
why I say once again, we need a special investigator.
We need a neutral party to take a look at
what's going on and report back to the American people.
And everybody has to be on the table. Anybody who
was involved, Bring them in, get them under oath, and
(21:21):
if they lie, charge them just like anybody else. It's
the only way to get to the bottom of this
because we can't trust the DOJ to do it, and
not just Trump's DOJ, but the DOJ in general. They've
had how many chances to do this and they've avoided
it at all costs. So all of a sudden we
should think that they're going to do the right thing.
(21:41):
No way, we need somebody independent of the government who
still has the power to subpoena and to bring prosecutions.
That is the only way we're ever going to get
to the bottom of this. So they're never going to
do it right. We're never going to see that because
the idea is to run out the clock, to make
you forget about this, to have you think about other things,
(22:04):
move on to the next disaster. But the truth is,
too many people have now seen behind the curtain, and
too many people are now demanding the truth. The notations
were released by the Bureau of Prisons in twenty twenty three,
along with just one entry he made in the log,
a note made at two fifteen am, forty five minutes
(22:27):
after the incident. Translation, he broke the law and was
never held accountable. I mean, we're not talking about a
guy who's screwed up an order at McDonald's, right, We're
talking about somebody who made a gigantic mistake. And I
don't even think it was a mistake. I'm gonna go
with negligence instead. A mistake is forgivable. This isn't a mistake.
(22:49):
Looks willful to me. Now. Of course that could just
be me being cynical, right, but when you look at
the whole situation and all of the issues that occurred,
how can you not be cynical about what went down?
Fifteen minutes later, at two thirty am, Thomas wrote inmate,
sitting on bed, trying to remember what happened. Around that time,
a correction supervisor was interviewing Tartaglioni about the incident. Tartaglioni
(23:13):
said he had given the bottom monk to Ebstein because
he was old and had moved his own mattress to
the floor. Oh yeah, what a magnanimous guy. Huh, nobody's
moving their mattress to the floor at mcc Sorry. Tartaglioni
told a corrections officer he was sleeping with his headphones
on when he felt something hit his legs. Jeff, what
(23:36):
are you doing, Tartaglioni said, he asked into the darkness.
He said he turned on the light and found Epstein
sitting slumped on the floor, leaning to the side, with
his eyes open but unresponsive, with fabric around his neck.
According to another officer's memo, yeah fabric you put there?
Who do you think you're a kidding again? Look, I'm sorry,
(23:56):
but I don't believe Nicholas Tartaglioni. And I know I've
said that multiple times, but it's worth repeating. Anybody who's
out here trying to massage this dude's reputation or tell
you that he's not a scumbag is crazy to our
Taglioni said. He then yelled for jel Staff. Documents reviewed
by CBS News do not indicate what steps gel Staff
(24:19):
took to investigate Epstein's allegations related to tar Taglioni. In
a response to questions from CBS News, the Bureau of
Prisons said the agency does not provide information related to investigations.
In other words, go get fucked. You're not getting any information.
You're not going to know anything about what went down,
and that's just the way it's going to be, and
(24:40):
there's nothing you can do about it. For those of
you who are new to the story, welcome to the
mosh pit. This is what we've been dealing with now
for literally six years. And let me remind you, this
is exactly the kind of shit that cash Bettel said
he was going to get rid of, that we were
going to have transparency and we were all gonna know
(25:00):
the deal. Well, how'd that work out. The jail's chief
psychologists later speculated to investigators for the Inspector General that
there were three possible explanations for the incident. In one
version of the event, she wrote, either Epstein or a
Tartaglioni were gaming the system to get something they wanted.
Another explanation was that Epstein had conducted a rehearsal of
(25:23):
his eventual suicide. A third possibility was that, as Epstein
initially claimed, he was assaulted. She told investigators that she
considered the third scenario less plausible, although she did not
know for certain. Oh I'm sure less plausible. Huh. A
four time murderer in the jail cell with Jeffrey Epstein.
(25:44):
But it's not plausible that he attacked them for insert
reason here. They really think you're stupid. That's what they're
banking on, that you're stupid, and that you're just gonna
accept whatever kind of bullshit they're serving up Stein remained
on suicide watch for a little more than a day.
During that time, inmate volunteers kept blogs briefly documenting check
(26:07):
ins at fifteen minute intervals. The morning updates were largely mundane.
In made Epstein's pacing around in made Epstein is hungry,
in made Epstein watched his neck. By the next evening,
he became more chatty. According to the logs, in made
Epstein is talking about finance, in made Epstein is talking
(26:27):
about science, and made Epstein is talking about math, and
made Epstein is talking about the prison environment. Epstein is
talking about his experience teaching mathematics and physics. One volunteer
wrote in successive updates. On the morning of July twenty fourth,
Epstein's status was downgraded from suicide watch to psychological observation.
(26:49):
That day, a regional administrator who oversaw more than a
dozen jails in prisons as for an explanation of the change.
Inmates placed under psychological observation as opposed to suicide watch
were considered not imminently suicidal. He was told. One of
the forensic psychologists told investigators it was not healthy for
(27:10):
inmates to stay on suicide watch for extended periods of time.
She observed signs of positivity, and that Epstein adamantly denied suicide.
Even the downgraded status bothered Epstein. The record show he
insisted to Jael staff that he wouldn't try to kill himself.
He denied feeling helpless. He is reporting positive future plans
(27:30):
and reasons to live for one staffer wrote in August
first report, he described himself to one source that week
as too much of a coward to kill himself, and
wondered aloud to another source if the incident had been
a prank gone wrong. The event was expunged from Epstein's
official record after the jail's disciplinary proceedings failed to prove
(27:52):
he committed self mutilation. Imagine that shit exponged after he
allegedly tried to commit suicide in a jail cell with
a man there on four homicides. I guess all this
informations on Pambondi's desk as well. Huh, right there with
the list and everything else, she promised. Following the incident,
(28:12):
Epstein expressed concern to the Bureau of Prison employees about
being housed back in the same unit, saying he felt
it was dangerous. According to the IG report, Epstein was
assigned a new cellmate, Eprin Reyus, and moved back on
July thirtieth. Nine days later, Reyes was transferred. As night
fell Epstein found himself without a bunkie. Hours later, the
(28:36):
early morning quiet of the secure housing unit was once
again punctured as corrections officers call for help. Epstein was
once again on the floor of his cell. This time
his body was called to the touch. Now I have
no idea how anyone can look at the circumstances surrounding
all of this, his death, the lead up to it,
and believe the official narrative. And I think that it
(28:59):
takes a whole hell of a lot of gumption for
the government to try and pitch this to people who
actually know better. But the truth is they don't care
because they know there's nothing we can do to force
the issue. So instead, what they'll do is they'll obfuscate,
they'll kick the can down the road a little bit further,
and they'll hope that people forget. But as I've said
(29:20):
a million times, at this point, nobody's forgetting and we're
certainly not moving on. All of the information that goes
with this episode can be found in the description box
What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. One of the main things that people seem
to miss when we're talking about Jeffrey Epstein's death is
the incident that led up to the actual event where
Jeffrey Epstein lost his life, and that incident is his
first alleged suicide attempt. While he was in the jail
(00:21):
cell with Acelli, who was looking at four homicides, and
in the initial stages of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged first suicide attempt,
Jeffrey Epstein said that his cellmate Nicholas Startaglioni was the
one who attempted to kill him, was the one who
assaulted him. Now, of course, star Taglioni says that never
happened and he was the one who saved Jeffrey Epstein.
(00:43):
But I've never bought that, not for a minute, and
I don't believe a damn thing the man has to say.
To be honest with you, we're talking about a four
time murderer. Folks convicted locked away should have never been
in a jail cell with Epstein in the first place.
A few weeks leading up to him being in that
jail cell, with Epstein. He was caught with contraband in
(01:04):
his jail cell, meaning TARTAGLIONI he had a phone in
his jail cell. But sure, let's move him into a
cell with Jeffrey Epstein. So look, when I talk about
the Epstein files, I'm talking about shit like this. Who
signed off on it, Who thought this was a good idea,
who okayed it? We don't know any of that stuff.
(01:24):
And just like with the Bill Barr deposition, a lot
of it's a bunch of bullshit. In that deposition, Bill
Barr said he never talked to anybody that was, you know,
celled up with Epstein, et cetera, which is a lie.
He talked to stone Reyes, he crote about it, but
all of a sudden now when he's being questioned in
that deposition, he never talked to anybody that was bunked
(01:47):
up with Epstein. It's all just a bunch of nonsense.
And they hope that it's confusing enough that people just
throw their hands up and say to hell with it all.
But unfortunately for them, I don't think that's going to happen.
And that's because there are just too many unexplained incidents,
too many unanswered questions and way too much bullshit that's
(02:07):
been pitched to us. So today we have an article
from CBS News and the headline the night Jeffrey Epstein
claimed his cellmate tried to kill him. This article was
authored by Dan Russell, Anik, Kara Tabachnik, and Graham Keels.
Jeffrey Epstein lay in the feudal position on the floor
(02:30):
of his jail cell, unresponsive, with an orange fabric noose
tied around his neck. The post midnight quiet of the
Metropolitan Correctional Center's secure housing unit was punctured as a
corrections officer call for help. It was one twenty seven
am on July twenty third, twenty nineteen, eighteen days before
(02:50):
Epstein's death. He was breathing, his eyes opening and shutting occasionally,
but he wouldn't or couldn't respond to officers questions and commands.
According to a confidential corrections officer's memo obtained by CBS News,
they hoisted inmates seven six, three, one, eight h zero
five to four onto a stretcher. Federal officials have repeatedly
(03:14):
said Epstein's eventual death by suicide allegedly was foreshadowed by
this earlier alleged attempt and I never bought it, not
for a minute. I told you all then when it
was happening that I didn't buy it. There's just too
much going on here, and until somebody can explain to
me how Tartaglioni was in that jail cell in the
first place, you're never ever going to convince me of
(03:36):
this narrative. Ever. Former Attorney General Bill Barr reiterated that
claim in an August closed door deposition before the House
Oversight Committee, which released the interview transcript last week. Barr,
who did not reply to questions from CBS News, said
in his testimony he knew about the July twenty third incident,
which he viewed as an attempted suicide. Barr said he
(03:59):
considered it is indicative of Epstein's state of mind. Well,
unfortunately for Barr and that narrative, literally nobody thought that
Epstein was suicidal. Nobody, not the psychologists, not his lawyers,
not his friends. But yet all of a sudden, they're
gonna tell us that Jeffrey Epstein was suicidal, or how
about this alternate theory, Nicholas Tartaglioni was put in that
(04:22):
cell for a reason, and that reason was to pass
a message on to Jeffrey Epstein. Look, buddy, either you
do it or will do it, we can reach out
and touch you anywhere, even in this jail cell. So,
like I've said from the jump, if Jeffrey Epstein did
take his own life, my guess is it was under threat.
But I still have reservations if that's even the case.
(04:43):
We have no idea what went on inside of that
cell block, zero idea. The guards were snoozing, the cameras
weren't recording. How the fuck do we know? Is it
just a trust me bro kind of situation where we
can just sit here and be like, ah, yeah, Bill
Barr arbiter of truth. I trust Darth Barr because in
my opinion, that ship is long sailed. We're at a
(05:04):
point now where it's put up or shut up, and
when it comes to the DOJ, there's no putting up
going on. Instead, it's all about obfue, skating and hiding shit.
But gel staff memos and other never before reported documents
obtained by CBS News, as well as interviews with more
than a dozen people who interacted with Epstein before and
after the incident, reveal a murcurer picture than the one
(05:27):
depicted by Barr. The new documents have surfaced amid persistent
speculation over Epstein's death, despite official conclusions that he died
by suicide. You know, CBS, not for nothing. But it
would have been nice if you asked these questions when
this was going on, you know, when people like me
were telling you that this was a big problem and
that we were having some serious issues with the truth.
(05:50):
But no, you continued to bang on with your bullshit,
talking about garbage that didn't even matter. And now here
you are, all these years later, talking about have some
official documents. I mean, great, better late than never. But bro,
your job breaking news is the whole power to account
and you've done a piss poor job of doing that
(06:11):
when we're talking about Jeffrey Epstein. As corrections officers entered
Epstein's cell on July twenty third, they were greeted by
a chaotic scene, according to a source close to the investigation.
And that's what we were talking about with Agent X.
Remember having some kind of whistleblower come forward, someone you know,
blow the doors off this thing. That's one way to
(06:32):
get to the truth. But besides that, we're gonna be
hard pressed. He's laying on the floor and as Bunkie
as screaming, I did nothing. I banged on my door
to get him out of my cell, the source said.
Corrections officers carried Epstein to a cell on a different
floor as he remained unresponsive. Moments after becoming alert, Epstein
(06:52):
gave officers his first account of what happened. The record
show he told them that he thought he had been
attacked by a cellmate, an ex cop who is awaiting
trial on four murders. So again, ask yourself, on what
fucking planet should this man even be in a cell
with Epstein in the first place. Wouldn't you have Epstein
(07:13):
in the cell with other special need inmates, you know,
somebody in there for similar crimes or white collar crimes,
or you know, something that's not violent. But no, they
put him in the jail cell with a guy that's
facing four homicides. And then the cameras just happen to
be not working, and the video gets misplaced and all
this other stuff occurs. Sure, if you want to believe
(07:35):
that that's what happened, you are more than entitled to
do that. Me personally, I don't believe one single word
of it, and in fact, I find it all insulting.
Moments after becoming alert, Epstein gave officers his first account
of what happened. The record show he told them that
he thought he had been attacked by his cellmate, an
(07:55):
ex cop who was awaiting trial on four murders. Now,
why would Epstein say that if it was isn't true?
What would he gain from that besides an enemy at jail?
What would he gain from that, besides a murderer who
might want to murder him? None of it makes sense.
But you would think that Epstein would be looking to
make friends inside of this jail. Right, I'm already in
here for Heinu's crimes, So I'm gonna double down and
(08:17):
snitch on somebody that had nothing to do with me
hurting myself. That doesn't sound very smart to me, and
I don't think that's a move that Epstein would have made.
He sat up on the bed and began telling me
that he thinks his bunkie tried to kill him, or
responding officer wrote in one memo. A senior officer wrote
in a separate incident report that Epstein initially implicated his
(08:40):
cellmate in the incident, claiming he had previously said things
that made Epstein feel threatened. That alone should have initiated
a gigantic investigation. Right, that alone should have had Epstein
and Nicholas Tartaglioni brought before some sort of panel for adjudication,
but no. Epstein would later back off the claim, saying
(09:03):
instead that he couldn't remember what happened. Yeah, he didn't
want to stitch. He's in jail. This is not rocket science.
And if anybody out there thinks that Epstein tried to
kill himself this first time around, I don't even know
what to say to you. There is zero down in
my mind, and I don't say that lightly. There is
zero down in my mind that Tartaglioni attacked Epstein in
(09:25):
this cell. And I'm sorry, I'm not gonna believe what
Nicholas Tartaglioni has to say. He has nothing to gain
by admitting what went down here. And furthermore, now we
see that people are pushing for a pardon for Nicholas
to Artagleoni. Go figure, and the cynic in me wonders,
is that payment for services rendered? I mean, he already
(09:46):
beat the death penalty. Is it just another part of
whatever kind of deal that he got hooked up with
for carrying out this attack on Epstein. Now look, I'm
not saying that's what happened, but we don't know. That's
my point. And the official in their that they're giving us,
that they're serving us up like a bunch of soft
sur of ice cream is straight trash. Nicholas S. Tartaglioni,
(10:07):
the cellmate, has repeatedly disputed the initial allegation and said
he tried to revive Epstein. As with Epstein's eventual death,
any camera footage of the incident was either mislaid, lost,
or never captured by the facility's faulty system. Well that's
pretty weird, huh. All of this stuff just magically happened
all at once, All of these coincidences collided all at
(10:30):
once and gave us this situation. What do you think
the odds of that are? I would say in the billions? Right,
all these different things happening at once, all these disasters,
And according to the DOJ and the BOP, it's not
like this was the secret. So did these people know
that these cameras weren't working? Meaning people inside of the jail,
(10:52):
and that gave them the cover they were looking for,
or more nefarious. Did somebody turn this shit off again?
We don't know, and that's all part of it. Keep
in mind confusion, getting people frustrated, never giving enough information
or just giving half truth. That is all part of
this gigantic cover up that we're witnessing. Tartaglioni has not
(11:15):
responded to email questions from CBS News. His lawyer said
Epstein's initial claim that Tartaglioni tried to kill him was
flatly not true. Yeah, sure, I believe that. I believe
that he was in that cell with Epstein, had his
headphones on, and then Epstein did a swan dive off
of the bunk onto the floor where Nicholas Tartaglioni. Mind,
(11:35):
you moved his bed because you know that's what people
do in jail, They moved their bed onto the floor
to provide accommodations for someone like Epstein. Sure, buddy, tell
me you've never been to jail or know anybody that's
been to jail without telling me. He saved his life
the first time, said Ingo Parsons, the attorney Tartaglioni said
(11:57):
in a recent interview with the podcast House and Habit
that Epstein also left a suicide note and it even
offered Tartaglioni money to kill him. Oh yeah, sure, because
we can all you know, we can confirm that. Let's
believe Nicholas Tartaglioni, the cartel associate who ended up killing
four people, sounds like a real credible guy to me.
(12:20):
Epstein expressed concern about his cellmate the day before the incident,
according to a corrections memo and a source who agreed
to speak with CBS News on the condition they not
be identified. All these years later, and people are still
scared to come forward and put their name to things.
And you wonder why Agent X doesn't want to talk
on the air. Epstein also claimed to both corrections officers
(12:44):
and the source that he felt threatened by Tartaglioni, a
hulking retired cob turned drug dealer who was charged and
later convicted of four murders. Well, yeah, I wouldn't want
to be in a jail cell with somebody like that.
Talk about a Psychopathstein said to the officer that he
hadn't previously been comfortable reporting the alleged threat because his
(13:05):
bunkie told him that if he beat him up because
of Epstein's child sex trafficking charges, the officers would not
report it. Well, he's probably telling the truth about that,
and that's because some of the staff I don't know
who was probably in on it. And again that speculation, right,
I don't know for sure, but there's no way that
this happened in a vacuum. Way too much shit went
(13:26):
south for this to all be coincidence. The wealthy former
financier Pedophile told jail officers that he believed our TAGLIONI
was trying to extort money from him and stated that
if he didn't pay him that he'd beat him up.
The officer wrote, he stated that this has been going
on for a week. So you put him in a
cell with a murderer. The dude threatens them, presses them,
(13:50):
extorts them, and then has the audacity to play the hero.
Oh yeah, I tried to save his life like an
everyday jail celled David Hasselhoff from Beywatch. Huh, mister life
saver over here, mister man who killed four people in
cold blood by strangling them, shooting them, and god knows
what else is now? The savior of pedophiles and child molesters?
(14:14):
Is that really the narrative that we're going with. Is
that really what you want to pitch us, because you
have to think we're fucking really stupid if you think
we're buying this whole entire nonsensical scenario and this BS narrative.
All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up episode one right here,
and in the next episode, we're gonna pick up where
we left off and wrap this bad boy up. All
(14:35):
of the information that goes with this episode can be
found in the description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome
to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode,
we're picking up where we left off with a CBS
article titled the night Jeffrey Epstein claimed is sel May
tried to kill him and again. This article was authored
(14:57):
by Dan rus Linik, Kara Tobotschnik, and Graham Kates. Epstein
told a different officer that on the eve of the
July incident, his cellmate had gotten a hold of a
copy of the New York Deli News. Epstein, a former
financial advisor, confidante to some of the world's most powerful people,
(15:18):
and prolific sexual abuser, of girls and young women, said Tartaglioni.
Pointed to a story about Epstein in the paper. Tar
Taglioni said it placed his net worth at seventy seven million.
According to Epstein, that figure matches evaluation for Epstein's New
York mansion cited in multiple articles in the paper that month.
(15:40):
So that's a bit of cooperation, right. This all came
out that month in those articles, and all of a sudden,
Tartaglioni has something to say, knows about Epstein's finances. Wasn't
something that was private at that point. So that certainly tracks,
and it certainly fits with the story that Epstein was
telling us. And again, look, I think that Epstein was
(16:00):
telling the truth when it comes to what he says
happened in that jail cell with Nicholas Tartaglioni. It all
just makes sense. Everything fits so perfectly. Now. Of course,
I won't sit here and tell you that I know
for sure, because I don't have those receipts. But in
my gut, I know for a fact that we're being
(16:20):
lied to, and I know for a fact that something
went on in that cell that had to do with
Jeffrey Epstein. Being assaulted, and I'm talking about the first
time around now is actual death. I don't know. Was
this a message? And then he was told to you know,
you better do it yourself or will do it for you,
like I was saying before. And that's always one of
(16:42):
the theories that really stuck with me because I think
it all fits the grander pattern of the kind of
people that we're talking about. And make no mistake, those
people that we're talking about, they're not above using systemic
failures inside of a jail or a prison that they
already know about in advance to set something in motion.
(17:03):
You have to understand the kind of people that we're
dealing with here, and those are the kind of people
that make shit like this happen. Epstein said that he
crumpled up the article, threw it out, and turned in
for bed. He told an officer he remembered waking up
at one am to get a drink of water and
walking back to his bed. The next thing he recalled,
(17:23):
he said, was roughly half an hour later, when corrections
officers rushed into his cell. Epstein initially said that he
thought he was attacked, but later equivocated. He asked to
be put back in the same cell with Star Taglione,
according to a twenty twenty three report by the Department
of Justice Inspector General, but also insisted he would never
(17:46):
have tried to kill himself. He didn't want to be
a snitch. Guys. Come on, He knew that he was
going to be in this lock up for quite some
time as he fought these charges, and he didn't want
to get the reputation of being a snitch. That's exactly
what happened here, nothing more, nothing less. So he retracted
what he said originally and decided to roll with the
(18:08):
punches because at that point he understood and understood very
clearly that the game had changed and that things weren't
going to be what they were the last time around
when he was arrested, and that started to dawn on him.
And I think that was a very, very sobering revelation
(18:29):
for Jeffrey Epstein, Whereas before he would have said, look,
TARTAGLIONI did this, and if you don't do something about it,
I'm going to call my people at Justice. Well, those
people at Justice at this point had already abandoned Epstein
because he was a burned asset. So nobody was rushing
in to help him this time around. In fact, they
had cut all ties at this point. So when you
(18:51):
start to look at it from that perspective, some of
that fog begins to lift. And again, I can't say
it for sure, right, I can't sit here and tell
you yeah, yeah, that's what happened one hundred percent. Here
are the receipts, YadA, YadA, YadA. Can't do that. But
what I can tell you is all the piece is fit.
And it's certainly not the narrative that they gave us.
(19:11):
That certainly didn't happen. Not the truth, no way, no
how So what's the most likely scenario my opinion, it's
the one we just laid out. After the incident, Epstein
was moved to a room where he was placed on
suicide watch and closely monitored for the next thirty one hours.
In his first minutes there, he twice sat on the
(19:32):
edge of the bed and began moving forward as if
he was attempting to fall over head first. A corrections
officer wrote told to stop, Epstein responded, Okay, I won't
do it again, and gave the thumbs up. Another corrections
officer assigned to watch over Epstein in the hours following
the July twenty third incident was Michael Thomas. According to
(19:52):
a document obtained by CBS News, Thomas is the officer
who discovered Epstein dead in his cell on August tenth
in twenty nineteen. According to the Justice Department, he and
another officer were later charged with falsifying documents related to
the night of Epstein's death, but those charges were dropped.
Of course they were. Of course they were. Nobody charged,
(20:15):
nobody held responsible, Just the same old bullshit from the government.
Oh was the systemic failure. We're gonna fix this. Nothing
gets fixed, nothing gets changed, and the song just continues
to play on, And of course that means it's gonna
happen again at some point. They already know they can
get away with it now. So the sky's a fucking limit,
isn't it. Because Epstein was on suicide watch after the
(20:39):
July twenty third incident, Thomas was required to record a
log of observations about Epstein in fifteen minute increments like
for real, my guy Thomas over here needs to be
completely investigated, and so does Tovia Noel. What were they buying?
Did they have any influx of money after this event.
(21:01):
All that stuff is relevant in my opinion, and that's
why I say once again, we need a special investigator.
We need a neutral party to take a look at
what's going on and report back to the American people.
And everybody has to be on the table. Anybody who
was involved, Bring them in, get them under oath, and
(21:21):
if they lie, charge them just like anybody else. It's
the only way to get to the bottom of this
because we can't trust the DOJ to do it, and
not just Trump's DOJ, but the DOJ in general. They've
had how many chances to do this and they've avoided
it at all costs. So all of a sudden we
should think that they're going to do the right thing.
(21:41):
No way, we need somebody independent of the government who
still has the power to subpoena and to bring prosecutions.
That is the only way we're ever going to get
to the bottom of this. So they're never going to
do it right. We're never going to see that because
the idea is to run out the clock, to make
you forget about this, to have you think about other things,
(22:04):
move on to the next disaster. But the truth is,
too many people have now seen behind the curtain, and
too many people are now demanding the truth. The notations
were released by the Bureau of Prisons in twenty twenty three,
along with just one entry he made in the log,
a note made at two fifteen am, forty five minutes
(22:27):
after the incident. Translation, he broke the law and was
never held accountable. I mean, we're not talking about a
guy who's screwed up an order at McDonald's, right, We're
talking about somebody who made a gigantic mistake. And I
don't even think it was a mistake. I'm gonna go
with negligence instead. A mistake is forgivable. This isn't a mistake.
(22:49):
Looks willful to me. Now. Of course that could just
be me being cynical, right, but when you look at
the whole situation and all of the issues that occurred,
how can you not be cynical about what went down?
Fifteen minutes later, at two thirty am, Thomas wrote inmate,
sitting on bed, trying to remember what happened. Around that time,
a correction supervisor was interviewing Tartaglioni about the incident. Tartaglioni
(23:13):
said he had given the bottom monk to Ebstein because
he was old and had moved his own mattress to
the floor. Oh yeah, what a magnanimous guy. Huh, nobody's
moving their mattress to the floor at mcc Sorry. Tartaglioni
told a corrections officer he was sleeping with his headphones
on when he felt something hit his legs. Jeff, what
(23:36):
are you doing, Tartaglioni said, he asked into the darkness.
He said he turned on the light and found Epstein
sitting slumped on the floor, leaning to the side, with
his eyes open but unresponsive, with fabric around his neck.
According to another officer's memo, yeah fabric you put there?
Who do you think you're a kidding again? Look, I'm sorry,
(23:56):
but I don't believe Nicholas Tartaglioni. And I know I've
said that multiple times, but it's worth repeating. Anybody who's
out here trying to massage this dude's reputation or tell
you that he's not a scumbag is crazy to our
Taglioni said. He then yelled for jel Staff. Documents reviewed
by CBS News do not indicate what steps gel Staff
(24:19):
took to investigate Epstein's allegations related to tar Taglioni. In
a response to questions from CBS News, the Bureau of
Prisons said the agency does not provide information related to investigations.
In other words, go get fucked. You're not getting any information.
You're not going to know anything about what went down,
and that's just the way it's going to be, and
(24:40):
there's nothing you can do about it. For those of
you who are new to the story, welcome to the
mosh pit. This is what we've been dealing with now
for literally six years. And let me remind you, this
is exactly the kind of shit that cash Bettel said
he was going to get rid of, that we were
going to have transparency and we were all gonna know
(25:00):
the deal. Well, how'd that work out. The jail's chief
psychologists later speculated to investigators for the Inspector General that
there were three possible explanations for the incident. In one
version of the event, she wrote, either Epstein or a
Tartaglioni were gaming the system to get something they wanted.
Another explanation was that Epstein had conducted a rehearsal of
(25:23):
his eventual suicide. A third possibility was that, as Epstein
initially claimed, he was assaulted. She told investigators that she
considered the third scenario less plausible, although she did not
know for certain. Oh I'm sure less plausible. Huh. A
four time murderer in the jail cell with Jeffrey Epstein.
(25:44):
But it's not plausible that he attacked them for insert
reason here. They really think you're stupid. That's what they're
banking on, that you're stupid, and that you're just gonna
accept whatever kind of bullshit they're serving up Stein remained
on suicide watch for a little more than a day.
During that time, inmate volunteers kept blogs briefly documenting check
(26:07):
ins at fifteen minute intervals. The morning updates were largely mundane.
In made Epstein's pacing around in made Epstein is hungry,
in made Epstein watched his neck. By the next evening,
he became more chatty. According to the logs, in made
Epstein is talking about finance, in made Epstein is talking
(26:27):
about science, and made Epstein is talking about math, and
made Epstein is talking about the prison environment. Epstein is
talking about his experience teaching mathematics and physics. One volunteer
wrote in successive updates. On the morning of July twenty fourth,
Epstein's status was downgraded from suicide watch to psychological observation.
(26:49):
That day, a regional administrator who oversaw more than a
dozen jails in prisons as for an explanation of the change.
Inmates placed under psychological observation as opposed to suicide watch
were considered not imminently suicidal. He was told. One of
the forensic psychologists told investigators it was not healthy for
(27:10):
inmates to stay on suicide watch for extended periods of time.
She observed signs of positivity, and that Epstein adamantly denied suicide.
Even the downgraded status bothered Epstein. The record show he
insisted to Jael staff that he wouldn't try to kill himself.
He denied feeling helpless. He is reporting positive future plans
(27:30):
and reasons to live for one staffer wrote in August
first report, he described himself to one source that week
as too much of a coward to kill himself, and
wondered aloud to another source if the incident had been
a prank gone wrong. The event was expunged from Epstein's
official record after the jail's disciplinary proceedings failed to prove
(27:52):
he committed self mutilation. Imagine that shit exponged after he
allegedly tried to commit suicide in a jail cell with
a man there on four homicides. I guess all this
informations on Pambondi's desk as well. Huh, right there with
the list and everything else, she promised. Following the incident,
(28:12):
Epstein expressed concern to the Bureau of Prison employees about
being housed back in the same unit, saying he felt
it was dangerous. According to the IG report, Epstein was
assigned a new cellmate, Eprin Reyus, and moved back on

early morning quiet of the secure housing unit was once
again punctured as corrections officers call for help. Epstein was
once again on the floor of his cell. This time

takes a whole hell of a lot of gumption for
the government to try and pitch this to people who
actually know better. But the truth is they don't care
because they know there's nothing we can do to force
the issue. So instead, what they'll do is they'll obfuscate,
they'll kick the can down the road a little bit further,
and they'll hope that people forget. But as I've said
