BREAKING: Missing Epstein Jail Footage Released

New jail footage in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation reveals who was near the late pedophile in the final minutes and hours before he was found dead.

The video, released as part of a new batch of evidence from the U.S. House, shows a guard approaching Epstein’s jail cell on the night of his 2019 suicide. Two key clips were among more than 34,000 pieces of evidence released by the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday.

From a vantage point outside his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, viewers can see Epstein and a nearby jailer in a period stretching from 11:58:59 on August 9, 2019, to midnight on Aug. 10, 2019.

Digital forensics experts previously questioned the authenticity of video released by the U.S. Justice Department, claiming two other clips were ripped from a longer video and stitched together using editing software. The allegation fueled claims by critics who accused the administration of covering up more details about Epstein’s suspicious death.

However, the new House release shows that camera data switched on around midnight, turning over the tape and necessitating a binding of the two files.

Fox News independently verified that the two stitched clips show a seamless passage of the final minutes that night, perforating U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s claim that the final minute of footage is deleted from jail records every night.

“What we learned from the Bureau of Prisons was every night the video is reset, and every night should have the same minute missing,” Bondi previously said in a meeting at the White House.

It remains unclear why the final minute of footage was not immediately released by Bondi.

WATCH:

Epstein was found dead in the early hours of the morning with a makeshift noose around his neck. He was awaiting trial for dozens of charges related to the underage trafficking and sexual abuse of young girls.

His death did little to quell the controversy, however, and critics immediately began to question whether powerful individuals had him killed. Those concerns were put to rest by FBI chiefs Kash Patel and Dan Bongino earlier this year when both men, who have questioned Epstein’s death in the past, confirmed that the evidence suggests he killed himself.

The Trump administration has faced sustained pressure to release more evidence about the government’s investigation into Epstein and has been forced to walk back Bondi’s claim that a “client list” existed showing powerful individuals who abused girls alongside Epstein. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, in August, met with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former mistress, to ascertain if she could shed more light on who else may be implicated as part of Epstein’s long track record of abuse.
