Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

The official autopsy report for Jeffrey Epstein says that he committed suicide, which was always the most straightforward explanation for his death. Epstein’s camp reportedly isn’t satisfied with this report, but that could simply be about exposing any “help” Epstein might have had. In any case, things have taken yet another strange new turn.

According to the New York Post, a conservative quasi-tabloid that’s been known to promote phony pro-Trump conspiracy theories, Jeffrey Epstein signed a will just two days before his death. He supposedly placed everything into a simple trust, which doesn’t really tell us anything.

But because there’s always a strange twist in this case, one the lawyers who witnessed Epstein signing the will is also an attorney for El Chapo – because of course he is. We knew El Chapo would make an appearance in this scandal sooner or later.

Most people will be tempted to conclude that Jeffrey Epstein signed a will because he was considering suicide, but the conspiracy theorists will suggest that Epstein signed a will because he feared he was about to be murdered. In any case we’ll have to let Epstein’s lawyers speak up about the legitimacy of this supposed will – that is, if they’re not too busy with El Chapo.
