Market data provided by Factset. Powered and implemented by FactSet Digital Solutions. Legal Statement. Mutual Fund and ETF data provided by LSEG. Fox News' Kevin Corke reports on a purported Epstein suicide note released by a judge on 'The Ingraham Angle.' A federal judge in New York has ordered the release of a purported suicide note written by Jeffrey Epstein to his then-cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, siding with The New York Times in a request to unseal the document. The note had been filed under seal as part of Tartaglione’s case, in which the former police officer was convicted of multiple murders. U.S. District Judge Kenneth Karas ruled the document should be made public, finding no sufficient reason to keep it sealed. In the handwritten note, Epstein appears to reference past investigations and expresses frustration, writing in part, "They investigated me for months – found nothing!!!" and "Time to say goodbye." Portions of the note are difficult to read. HOWARD LUTNICK FORCED TO FACE
