Overview
- The 2025 pardon and commutation petition, now public through The Daily Beast, asserts Jeffrey Epstein was left unprotected in federal custody on purpose.
- Nicholas Tartaglione writes that Epstein was deliberately exposed to violence so he would not live to stand trial, framing the claim as his firsthand account.
- The filing alleges Trump wanted Epstein dead, a claim reported as Tartaglione’s allegation without corroboration from officials or independent evidence.
- Tartaglione says his transfer to Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center and placement in Epstein’s cell was intentional, a decision that remains unexplained.
- He denies trying to kill Epstein despite Epstein’s initial accusation after an incident later labeled self-inflicted, and Epstein’s brother continues to suspect foul play.
