Seems fake to me. If he had sent it week before he died he had just filed his bail appeal to the Second Circuit. Also the idea that he would say he was going to kill himself so casually reads as not written by a man in his postion.

Did Epstein Really Send Larry Nassar a Suicide Note?
A handwritten prison note from “J. Epstein” claims Trump shared the pedophiles’ love of “young, nubile girls.” The DOJ claims it’s “FAKE.”

The biggest question the #epsteinfiles may still answer (as they relate to #Trump) is whether #Epstein or #Maxwell proffered in 2019 or 2020 and if they were directly asked about #Trump and what they said at that time.

On release day, #DOJ gave nothing. Missing: #FBI reports, proffer notes from #Epstein's first and second cases, victim interviews, etc. (99% of the prosecutors' files were not included). #Epstein #Maxwell #Trump

Congrats to the @ny-knicks.bsky.social on their #nbacup championship. I really love this tournament because the guys at the end of the bench double their salary in night. This group is such a pleasure to watch. Kind of lame they’ll have to play a back to back on Thursday and Friday.

Of course they are failing to get a legitimate indictment against @newyorkstateag.bsky.social. Even the concocted story, taken as complete true, does not show any crime was committed on the face of the statute. #LetitiaJames #Bondi #Trump

That #StevenCohen allowed #DavidStearns to let the @mets.com all-time #HR leader #PeteAlonso leave in #freeagency is an inflection-point for his ownership.
The #PolarBear will be sorely missed in Queens, and no matter who comes next, the team will be worse without his example.

WATCH: “The President of the United States was undeniably charmed by the 34-year-old Democratic Socialist,” says Chris Hayes of Zohran Mamdani’s White House meeting with Trump.

FBI interviews of the victims as well as those in his orbit, as well as any proffer notes that exist of interviews of #Epstein by the #USAO. #Trump was an unindicted co-conspirator in several #SDNY cases, prosecutors may have asked many about him. These notes will be in the #files.
One caution I'd offer as everyone goes through these emails is that *Jeffrey Epstein* (of all people) saying something in an email does not automatically make it true!

New #Epstein evidence: Seems more likely now #Trump commutes #Maxwell's sentence and "deports" her to France. She'll sign an NDA but will paint Trump in a positive light, leaning heavily into this email.
The most damning stuff will be in the #FBI interviews of victims, still in the #files.

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake.
