Ex-cop and convicted killer Nicholas Tartaglione claims prosecutors said Epstein could walk free if he tied Trump to his crimes.

Jeffrey Epstein told his cellmate that federal prosecutors offered him a deal to falsely implicate President Donald Trump in exchange for his freedom, according to a sworn filing obtained by the New York Post.

The explosive claim was made by Nicholas Tartaglione, a former New York police officer serving multiple life sentences for murder and kidnapping, in a July 2025 pardon application. Tartaglione stated that prosecutors told Epstein “if he said President Trump was involved with Epstein’s crimes, he would walk free.”
Tartaglione alleged Epstein named Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey as the prosecutor who made the offer. “Epstein told me that Maurene Comey said that he didn’t have to prove anything, as long as President Trump’s people could not disprove it,” the petition reads. “According to Maurene Comey, the FBI were ‘her people, not his [President Trump’s].’”
Tartaglione and Epstein shared a cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan in the weeks leading up to Epstein’s death in 2019. Epstein was found dead of apparent suicide while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
In the same filing, Tartaglione claimed Epstein said flatly, “President Trump was not involved in Epstein’s crimes.”
Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, played a prominent role in the prosecutions of Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and others, including music mogul Sean Combs.
Epstein’s death and the surrounding circumstances have continued to fuel public speculation and bipartisan calls for transparency. His former partner, Maxwell, was convicted in 2021 of grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Epstein and is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.
Interest in Epstein’s connections surged again during the 2024 presidential campaign, when Trump allies publicly accused federal agencies of protecting high-profile individuals allegedly linked to Epstein’s trafficking network.
At the time, President Trump vowed to release all government records on Epstein. However, in July 2024, the FBI and Justice Department announced they would not release further documents, stating that “no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted.” The decision sparked criticism from within Trump’s base and led to renewed calls for accountability.
