The email story and its connection to the Epstein murder allegations
According to CNN, the official US Department of Justice announcement dated January 30, 2026, this document was part of more than 35 million pages and thousands of videos and photos published in response to the Epstein Files Transparency Act that President Donald Trump signed on November 19, 2025.
According to the Justice website, the email that spread yesterday, Sunday, March 15, 2026, came in posts on social networking sites, where Richard C. Curtis, a former inmate at New York’s Metropolitan Detention Center, wrote the letter dated May 13, 2021, to Emily Smith, an editor at the New York Post.
According to the US Department of Justice, the text of the email that appears in the released official document, with some parts blacked out, says Curtis: Dear Editor Smith, do you still intend to write a story about the murder of Jeffrey Epstein inside the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York, and the case of Ghislaine Maxwell, and you were inside both prisons… Can you respond today so I can send you more information about why the guards turned off the main and backup cameras?
He added: As I told you, whenever the guards turn off the cameras, the GOON SQUAD mob comes in to kill someone, and they always carry portable cameras to record everything with audio and video.
The most dramatic warning, which appears at the end of the document or attachments, is: Richard, these people will kill you. They will come into your room at night while you are sleeping and hit you over the head with a fire extinguisher and kill you. Then they will throw the extinguisher into one of our rooms and blame him.
According to the official US Congress website, the Epstein Files Transparency Act (HR4405) had passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 427 to one, and unanimously in the Senate, before President Trump signed it in November 2025, with the aim of publishing all materials related to the Epstein case with limited exceptions to protect victims.
