The FBI's Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Had Nearly 3 Minutes Cut Out
1 min read
Summary
Nearly three minutes of footage have been cut from the only functioning camera near Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead, according to newly uncovered metadata.
Questions about how the footage was edited and assembled have been raised as a result of the video’s release last week as part of the Trump administration’s commitment to fully investigate Epstein’s 2019 death.
Further analysis shows that one of the source clips was approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds longer than the segment included in the final video, with it being unclear what, if anything, the minutes cut from the first clip showed.
The DOJ and FBI have been contacted for further information, but both declined to comment.
Trump supporters have accused the administration of covering up the truth of Epstein’s death.
The newly released footage included internal comment markers, which are typically used in editing software to flag moments of interest, with 15 markers supposedly corresponding to visible movement near the prison cell door.
