Jeffrey Epstein allegedly claimed that prosecutors in New York dangled a deal in front of him—one that would set him free if he agreed to falsely implicate President Donald Trump in his crimes.
The explosive claim comes from Epstein’s former cellmate, ex-cop Nicholas Tartaglione, who detailed the alleged conversation in a pardon petition obtained by the New York Post.
According to Tartaglione, Epstein said lead prosecutor Maurene Comey—daughter of former FBI Director James Comey—personally told him he could walk free if he tied Trump to his sex-trafficking case.
Tartaglione, now 57, shared a cell with Epstein in Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center after the disgraced financier’s 2019 arrest.
In his filing, Tartaglione wrote that prosecutors “told Epstein that if he said President Trump was involved with Epstein’s crimes, he would walk free.”
He further claimed that Epstein described a conversation with Maurene Comey, who allegedly told him, “He didn’t have to prove anything, as long as President Trump’s people could not disprove it.”
Epstein reportedly said Comey bragged that “the FBI were her people, not his [President Trump’s],” suggesting a political bias inside the prosecution team.
The documents reviewed by the Post do not specify what exact crimes Trump was supposed to be implicated in.
At the time of his death, Epstein faced charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy but was rumored to be under investigation for other potential crimes, including financial misdealing and blackmail.
Maurene Comey served as lead prosecutor in several high-profile cases, including those involving Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Tartaglione himself.
Attempts to reach Comey for comment were unsuccessful, and the Department of Justice declined to respond.
The revelation adds another layer to the questions surrounding Epstein’s 2019 death, which was officially ruled a suicide but continues to spark widespread skepticism.
Epstein was found dead in his cell on August 10, 2019—just weeks after sharing the explosive story with Tartaglione.
Tartaglione claimed that Epstein had insisted, “President Trump was not involved in Epstein’s crimes.”
The two men were housed together until Epstein’s first suicide attempt in July 2019, after which he was placed on suicide watch and later returned to a new cell.
Tartaglione, a former K9 officer from Westchester, was later convicted in 2024 for killing four men during a botched 2016 cocaine deal.
In his own legal filings, he now alleges that evidence in his murder case was manipulated, phone data was tampered with, and video evidence was “altered, spliced, mutilated and destroyed.”
He also claims that one of his workers, Marcos Cruz, confessed to arranging the murders for a cartel but was pressured by investigators to change his story.
The former cop further accused the prosecution’s star witness, bodybuilder Joseph Biggs, of fabricating testimony after meeting with prosecutors around 30 times.
Biggs later admitted to shooting one of the victims and was sentenced to 17 years in prison for his role in the murders.
Despite his own conviction, Tartaglione’s new claim about Epstein and Comey raises serious concerns about potential political motives behind Epstein’s prosecution.
Maurene Comey was fired from her position at the Justice Department in July, just days after the Department of Justice and FBI concluded that Epstein had died by suicide and did not maintain a client list.
BREAKING: Anna Paulina Luna Claims The Biden DOJ DESTROYED…
Representative Anna Paulina Luna has leveled explosive information against the Biden Department of Justice, claiming that critical materials related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation have been deliberately destroyed.
This assertion, if proven true, would represent one of the most damning instances of governmental obstruction and cover-up in recent history.
Luna, who chairs a congressional task force focused on federal transparency, has stated unequivocally that she possesses evidence implicating high-ranking officials in the DOJ.
According to her, these officials not only failed to disclose materials related to Epstein but actively destroyed them to conceal the extent of powerful individuals’ involvement in Epstein’s criminal network.
She introduced legislation titled the SHRED Act, aimed at imposing severe penalties on government agents who destroy or conceal federal records. The proposed bill calls for 20 years to life in prison for anyone caught eliminating evidence in cases of national significance.
“Even if they are conducting a criminal investigation, you should probably pick up the phone and call us,” Luna told Fox News. “We have been more than patient.”
These developments come amid growing conservative suspicion that the Biden administration has no interest in unmasking Epstein’s full network. The notion that key records could be gone forever only intensifies fears that justice is being buried under a bureaucratic rug.
Luna’s office has reportedly sent multiple requests to the Department of Justice demanding clarity on the handling of Epstein-related materials. So far, those inquiries have been met with either vague responses or complete silence.
The congresswoman did not mince words in her public statements, suggesting that the DOJ’s behavior constitutes a deliberate act of obstruction. If true, such actions could violate federal law and trigger an entirely new legal battle.
“The Biden DOJ has obstructed Congress, ignored subpoenas, and now appears to have destroyed critical evidence,” Luna said. “This is corruption at the highest level.”
Critics argue that this is yet another example of double standards in Washington. “Had this been a Republican-led DOJ accused of destroying documents in a child sex trafficking case, the media would be apoplectic,” one conservative commentator noted.
For years, the Epstein case has symbolized the deep rot within America’s elite circles. The financier’s suspicious death in prison and the subsequent lack of high-profile indictments have fueled accusations of a widespread cover-up.
Now, Luna’s allegations breathe new life into those concerns. If records were indeed destroyed, the implications are profound. It would mean that the DOJ, under Biden, actively shielded criminals from justice.
What’s more troubling is that these destroyed materials could have named prominent individuals—politicians, celebrities, and global financiers—who participated in or enabled Epstein’s crimes.
In this context, Luna’s SHRED Act isn’t just legislative symbolism. It is a clarion call for accountability in an era marked by elite impunity. Her bill seeks to ensure that future officials think twice before erasing truth from the historical record.
Despite Luna’s repeated calls for transparency, there has been no formal response from Attorney General Merrick Garland. The silence speaks volumes to many who believe the DOJ is stonewalling on purpose.
Meanwhile, conservative lawmakers have rallied behind Luna. A growing number of Republicans in the House and Senate are voicing support for investigations into the DOJ’s handling of Epstein evidence.
Some have even floated the idea of appointing a special counsel to probe the matter independently. Given the stakes, such a move may be the only path forward to restore public confidence.
This latest scandal further erodes the credibility of an already battered Department of Justice. From the Hunter Biden laptop fiasco to the political targeting of conservatives, the agency has been repeatedly accused of partisanship.
Now, with Epstein documents allegedly destroyed, the DOJ’s credibility is in tatters. Public trust, once broken, is hard to rebuild.
The American people deserve the truth. And if Luna’s allegations are accurate, they deserve justice, no matter how high the guilty parties sit.
BREAKING: Tom Homan Reveals an Investigation is Underway Into AOC For…
Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed that a federal investigation is underway into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for allegedly employing a criminal illegal alien and helping others evade federal immigration authorities.
Speaking from his post as one of President Trump’s top immigration officials, Homan revealed that ICE has launched a formal probe after multiple allegations emerged against the congresswoman.
“This is a live federal investigation. We’ve asked ICE to take immediate action,” Homan said during a televised interview.
The individual in question is reportedly an undocumented alien with a criminal record, unlawfully hired by AOC’s office.
According to internal reports, the employee had multiple encounters with law enforcement and should have been deported years ago.
Homan stressed that AOC’s potential interference with ICE operations could amount to obstruction of justice.
“This goes beyond hiring an illegal alien. There’s evidence she actively helped shield this person from deportation,” he stated.
Conservative leaders are sounding the alarm, warning that this may be only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to far-left officials flouting immigration laws.
AOC has long been known for championing sanctuary cities and attacking border agents, often labeling them as “racist” and “oppressors.”
Now, critics say her reckless rhetoric has crossed over into potentially criminal behavior.
“If a sitting congresswoman used her office to harbor an illegal alien, that’s a clear violation of federal law,” Homan declared.
Sources inside ICE say agents have already gathered documentation and begun interviewing individuals connected to the case.
Evidence suggests AOC may have leveraged her political power to block enforcement action against the individual she employed.
House Republicans are demanding accountability, with several calling for a formal ethics investigation into her conduct.
“This is what happens when radicals gain power. They think the law doesn’t apply to them,” said Rep. Andy Biggs.
Democrats quickly circled the wagons, accusing Homan of launching a political smear campaign.
But Homan stood firm, reminding the public that the law is the law and political office offers no immunity from prosecution.
“This isn’t about politics. It’s about national security and public trust,” he said.
Homan emphasized that ICE agents are working independently and that the White House is not interfering in the investigation.
“We are following the facts. If those facts point to criminal activity, then action will be taken,” Homan confirmed.
Legal experts say AOC could face charges ranging from unlawful employment to obstruction of federal agents, depending on the evidence.
Citizens outraged by the news are demanding swift justice and a full public accounting of the congresswoman’s actions.
Homan urged Americans not to let political ideology blind them to the seriousness of the allegations.
“We must restore the rule of law,” he concluded. “No one, no matter how powerful, is above it.”
