EFTA00034725.pdf
This document is an email chain from July 25, 2019, between attorney Aida Leisenring and MCC New York staff. Leisenring requests the preservation of video surveillance (hallway and body camera footage) surrounding inmate Tartaglione's cell from the night of July 22-23, 2019, specifically citing the 'Epstein incident' under investigation. MCC staff confirm the preservation of footage for the SHU tier containing cell Z06-215.
EFTA00034197.pdf
This document is a collection of Federal Bureau of Prisons memorandums detailing an incident on July 23, 2019, where Jeffrey Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center with injuries to his neck. Staff responded to a body alarm at 1:27 AM, finding Epstein on the floor; reports vary on whether he had a 'noose,' 'orange homemade rope,' or 'handmade orange cloth' around his neck. Epstein later alleged his cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, attempted to kill and extort him, while Tartaglione claimed he discovered Epstein attempting suicide. Epstein was subsequently placed on suicide watch in the HA-Unit.
EFTA00034035.pdf
This document is a chain of emails between attorney Bruce Barket and staff at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York regarding inmate Nicholas Tartaglione. The correspondence begins with a media inquiry from The Daily Beast about an alleged attack by Tartaglione on Jeffrey Epstein. It follows with Barket's complaints about leaks and concerns for his client's mental health after parents described Tartaglione as 'incoherent,' leading to an internal MCC check which confirmed he was 'not incoherent' the following morning.
EFTA00032547.pdf
This document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney (SDNY) to Judge Karas regarding the case of U.S. v. Nicholas Tartaglione. It admits that video footage requested by the defense—showing the outside of the cell Tartaglione shared with Jeffrey Epstein during the July 22-23, 2019 incident—has been permanently lost. The government attributes this loss to a clerical error in the MCC computer system which led to the wrong cell's video being preserved, and confirms the correct footage is also missing from the backup system.
EFTA00031025.pdf
This document contains the Declaration of Russell Capone, Counsel to the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, in support of the Federal Bureau of Prisons' motion for summary judgment regarding FOIA requests filed by The New York Times Company concerning Jeffrey Epstein's incarceration and death. The declaration details the prosecutions of correctional officers Tova Noel and Michael Thomas for falsifying records related to Epstein's suicide, and Nicholas Tartaglione for a quadruple homicide, arguing that releasing certain records would interfere with these pending cases. Attached as Exhibit A is the Indictment of Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, and as Exhibit B is the Superseding Indictment of Nicholas Tartaglione.
EFTA00030715.pdf
A chain of emails from late August 2019 between attorney Bruce Barket and officials from the US Attorney's Office and MCC New York regarding inmate Nicholas Tartaglione ('Nick'). The discussions focus on requests for social visits with his parents, which MCC restricts based on policy and disciplinary sanctions, allowing them only for mitigation purposes in capital cases. The emails also confirm a legal meeting with Tartaglione on August 28, 2019.
EFTA00030707.pdf
This document is an email chain from September 10, 2019, between attorneys regarding the case 'US v. Tartaglione' (16-cr-832). Al-Amyn Sumar of The New York Times Company informed Bruce Barket and others that a letter had been faxed to the Court on behalf of the NYT and reporter Ben Weiser concerning the unsealing of records. Bruce Barket acknowledged receipt of the email.
EFTA00030552.pdf
An email chain from November 2019 between defense attorney Bruce Barket and the US Attorney's Office (SDNY). Barket requests statements made by inmate Nicholas Tartaglione and video footage regarding Jeffrey Epstein's attempted suicide on July 22-23, 2019. The US Attorney's Office agrees to produce Tartaglione's statements but explicitly denies the request for the suicide attempt video and reports, claiming they are not relevant to the case.
EFTA00029642.pdf
This document is an email chain dated November 27, 2019, between unidentified officials (one identified as Co-Chief, Narcotics Unit) discussing notes from a call with the legal counsel for Nicholas Tartaglione ('NT'). Tartaglione was Jeffrey Epstein's cellmate at the MCC during Epstein's first suicide attempt in July 2019. The email lists the attendees of the call as 'Bruce B, Aida, Bruce K, Tony, Michael,' likely referring to Tartaglione's defense attorneys Bruce Barket and Aida Leisenring. The actual notes from the call are redacted.
EFTA00029517.pdf
This document is an email chain dated October 8, 2020, between officials at the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. The discussion centers on an individual named Sarah Sacks and whether she represents Jeffrey Epstein or Nicholas Tartaglione. The AUSA notes that FOIA production documents show Sacks arranging for a private investigator to visit 'her client,' despite her not filing a notice on the docket.
EFTA00025264.pdf
Handwritten interview notes from an inmate witness housed in the MCC Special Housing Unit (SHU) describing the conditions and the specific night of Jeffrey Epstein's first suicide attempt (likely July 23, 2019). The witness, located in Cell 119, describes hearing a thump, the cellmate (former police officer Nicholas Tartaglione) screaming for guards, and the chaotic response where guards allegedly dropped Epstein from a stretcher twice. The notes detail the items used for the attempt (orange socks and towel tied together), the lack of regular checks, and the video recording of the aftermath.
EFTA00023226.pdf
This document is an email chain between USANYS prosecutors dating from December 3 to December 6, 2019. The discussion concerns a request from Nicholas Tartaglione's defense team for evidence corroborating Tartaglione's claim that he saved Jeffrey Epstein's life during a suicide attempt on July 23 in the MCC SHU. The prosecutors discuss reviewing inmate and MCC employee notes to determine if they constitute 'penalty-phase Brady' material that must be disclosed.
EFTA00020645.pdf
This document contains a series of internal Bureau of Prisons memorandums dated July 23, 2019, regarding a possible suicide attempt by Jeffrey Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. Staff responded to a call at 1:27 AM and found Epstein unresponsive in his cell with a makeshift noose/orange cloth around his neck, while his cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione alerted guards. While staff treated the incident as a suicide attempt and placed Epstein on suicide watch, Epstein later claimed to officers that Tartaglione had actually attempted to kill and extort him.
EFTA00020629.pdf
This document consists of 16 'Photo Sheets' from the Metropolitan Correctional Center New York's Special Investigative Section, dated July 23, 2019. The sheets document a 'Possible Suicide Attempt' by Jeffrey Epstein at 1:27 AM in the Special Housing Unit. The photos depict injuries to Epstein's neck and body, his cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione (hands, back, and chest), and an orange cloth strip presumably used in the incident.
EFTA00019402.pdf
This document is an email thread from August 15, 2019, circulating a Fox News article about the accidental release of serial bank robber Michael Matthews from the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) just days before Jeffrey Epstein's death. The article highlights serious security failures and irregularities at the MCC, including quotes from Attorney General William Barr expressing anger at the facility's failures. It also includes comments from the lawyer of Epstein's former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, describing conditions at MCC as inhumane and worse than Rikers Island.
EFTA00019348.pdf
This document is an Inmate Investigative Report and associated incident documentation from the MCC New York regarding a suicide attempt by Jeffrey Epstein on July 23, 2019. Epstein was found unresponsive with a homemade noose around his neck in the cell he shared with Nicholas Tartaglione. The report concludes there was insufficient evidence to suggest Tartaglione assaulted Epstein, despite conflicting narratives and allegations of extortion and discomfort between the cellmates.
EFTA00018976.pdf
This document is an email chain from August 11, 2019 (the day after Epstein's death), sent by a DOJ OIG agent to FBI and USANYS officials. It details answers provided by a 'Lt. Doctor' regarding prison protocols, specifically requesting head count logs for 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. The email clarifies that Epstein's last cellmate was released on August 9, 2019, that there was no requirement for Epstein to have a cellmate at the time, and that Nicholas Tartaglione was a restricted contact due to a previous incident.
EFTA00017953.pdf
This document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office to Judge Kenneth Karas regarding the case of Nicholas Tartaglione. It reveals that video footage from outside the cell Tartaglione shared with Jeffrey Epstein during the night of July 22-23, 2019 (the date of Epstein's first reported suicide attempt/incident), no longer exists. The MCC inadvertently preserved video of the wrong cell due to a clerical error in their system, and the backup system for the Special Housing Unit failed to retain the footage due to technical errors.
EFTA00017109.pdf
This document is a transcript of a court hearing in the case of United States v. Nicholas Tartaglione. The proceedings focus on a motion by media organizations (NY Post, Daily News, NY Times) to unseal letters regarding Tartaglione's housing conditions at the MCC and MDC. The Judge rules against the Bureau of Prisons and orders the letters unsealed, citing the public interest in BOP conditions and the fact that Tartaglione's background (and connection to the Epstein incident) is already public knowledge. The hearing also touches on trial scheduling and the government's decision not to seek a warrant for a specific telephone.
EFTA00017095.pdf
A formal letter from David McCraw, General Counsel for The New York Times, to Judge Kenneth Karas arguing for the unsealing of judicial records in United States v. Tartaglione. The records concern Nicholas Tartaglione's request to be transferred from the MCC due to threats from guards, allegedly stemming from his witnessing of his former cellmate Jeffrey Epstein's attempted suicide. The NYT argues that public interest and First Amendment rights outweigh the Government's desire to keep the Bureau of Prisons' internal deliberations secret.
EFTA00017094.pdf
This document is an email chain dated September 10, 2019, concerning the legal case US v. Tartaglione (16-cr-832). Al-Amyn Sumar of The New York Times Company Legal Department informs recipients that the NYT and reporter Ben Weiser have sent a letter to the Court requesting the unsealing of records. An Assistant United States Attorney forwards this information, noting the NYT's involvement in the request. The document relates to Epstein tangentially, as Tartaglione was Epstein's cellmate during his first suicide attempt.
EFTA00016763.pdf
This document is an email dated July 28, 2019, circulating a Wall Street Journal article titled 'What Jail Is Like for Jeffrey Epstein.' The text details the grim conditions at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan, where Epstein was held in 'the box' with former police officer Nicholas Tartaglione. It mentions Epstein's recent denial of bail, his move to suicide watch after being found unconscious, and complaints from other inmates and lawyers about vermin, cold temperatures, and sanitation issues at the facility.
EFTA00016736.pdf
This document is a letter from defense attorney Bruce Barket to Judge Kenneth Karas requesting an evidentiary hearing regarding the destruction of surveillance video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC). The missing video allegedly depicted the outside of the cell shared by Nicholas Tartaglione and Jeffrey Epstein during Epstein's suicide attempt on July 23, 2019. The defense argues this video is exculpatory for Tartaglione's sentencing mitigation, while the Government has admitted that the MCC inadvertently preserved the wrong video and that the backup system failed due to technical errors.
EFTA00015438.pdf
This document is a legal declaration by Russell Capone filed in the SDNY regarding a FOIA lawsuit by the New York Times against the Bureau of Prisons. It argues for withholding records related to Jeffrey Epstein's detention and death to avoid interfering with the pending criminal prosecutions of correctional officers Tova Noel and Michael Thomas (for falsifying records) and inmate Nicholas Tartaglione (for multiple murders). Attached as exhibits are the indictments for Noel/Thomas, detailing the night of Epstein's death, and Tartaglione, detailing the 'Likquid Lounge' quadruple homicide.
EFTA00013272.pdf
Court order from April 2019 in the case of United States v. Nicholas Tartaglione (Epstein's future cellmate). Judge Kenneth Karas orders the Bureau of Prisons to withhold attorney work-product and legal visitation logs from federal prosecutors to protect the defendant's legal strategy. The order applies to the MCC, MDC, and potential transfer facilities like Westchester County Correctional Facility.
