“He says, ‘But the government told me I don’t have to prove what I say about Trump, as long as Trump’s people can’t disprove it.’”
Jeffrey Epstein was reportedly offered a sweetheart plea deal to offer up incriminating evidence of Donald Trump to the federal government in order to impeach the now-President-elect. The feds said Epstein did not have to prove the evidence, leaving it up to Trump to disprove it, a former cell-mate of the dead pedophile has claimed.
It was reported that Epstein's former cellmate, a convicted killer and ex-cop Nicholas Tartaglione, 57, recalled the claimed conversation with Epstein, according to audio posted on Jessica Kraus' Substack.
During a phone conversation with Kraus, Tartaglione said: “[Epstein] said, ‘When you were a cop, what do you know about proffers and cooperating?’ I said, ‘Jeff, it’s pretty simple, the prosecutors, you know, they caught a fish — you. They’re not gonna let that fish off the hook unless you give them a bigger fish.'”
“He said, ‘Yeah, well, that’s what they said,'” the convicted murderer added. "[Epstein] said, ‘They told me they’d let me plead out something small, and I’ll do just a couple of years in a camp, if I can give them something on Trump to get him impeached.' He says, 'But the government told me I don’t have to prove what I say about Trump, as long as Trump’s people can’t disprove it.'"
The cellmate to Epstein said the dead pedophile considered "making stuff up" in order to get a better plea deal. In 2023, Tartaglione was convicted of murdering four people and sentenced to four life sentences in prison, according to the New York Post. The convict was found guilty of torturing and strangling a man over some cash.
Tartaglione was in the cell with Epstein when the pedophile was found with bruises on his neck on July 23, 2019. Tartaglione denied harming Epstein at the time, and Epstein was then put on suicide watch. He was facing sex trafficking charges as well as exploitation of minors and abuse at the time.
According to the cellmate, Trump and Epstein only knew each other socially but were not friendly towards one another.
“I said, ‘Well, do you know Trump?'” Tartaglione claimed in the phone call. “He says, ‘Well, you know, I know him. I met him, but we don’t like each other.’ I laughed. I said, ‘Why?’ He said, ‘Trump threw me out of a party at his place in Florida.'"
Tartaglione said that Epstein claimed Trump had thrown the pedophile out of a party at the time because Epstein was talking to a girl.
