The FBI and DOJ’s handling of the Epstein case continues to get more and more suspicious.
As it turns out, that video they released earlier this month of Epstein’s jail cell (technically, just the door to the block of cells he was being held in) wasn’t the full version.
As you probably recall, the surveillance video released to the public had a minute missing from 11:59 PM to 12:00 AM.
We were told that all surveillance videos had that minute missing.
But, that’s not true.
Apparently, the FBI and DOJ are both in possession of the full version — without the missing minute.
They just won’t let us see it.

The FBI and DOJ have the full Epstein cell video, including the missing minute from just before midnight when he died.
A source confirmed that the FBI, Bureau of Prisons, and DOJ Inspector General all possess the unedited footage.
This contradicts AG Pam Bondi, who blamed the missing minute featured in the released footage on a camera glitch.
According to a report from CBS News, the minute was never actually missing.
They just left it out of the version released to the public.
No word yet as to why this was done.
Here’s what CBS News reported:
The “missing minute” from the surveillance video at the Manhattan Metropolitan Correctional Center where Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019 may not be missing after all, CBS News has learned.
When the Justice Department and FBI released nearly 11 hours of footage earlier this month, the time code on the screen jumped forward one minute just before midnight, prompting questions about the one-minute gap. The video shows part of the area near the cell where Epstein was being held the night he died in what the medical examiner ruled a suicide.
A government source familiar with the investigation says the FBI, the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice inspector general are all in possession of a copy of the video that does not cut from just before 11:59 p.m. to midnight of the night Epstein died by suicide in his cell.
What is unclear is why that section was missing when the FBI released what it said was raw footage from inside the Special Housing Unit the night Epstein died, Aug. 9-10, 2019. The recording came from what officials said was the only relevant video camera that was recording its footage in the unit. This video has been cited by multiple government officials as a key piece of evidence in the determination that Epstein died by suicide.
Keep in mind that metadata of the 11-hour long video showed that the version released to the public actually had three total minutes missing and was spliced together from at least two clips.
‼️🇺🇸 JUST IN: Magically the FBI has the entire Epstein "su1cide" surveillance footage that is NOT missing a minute—per CBS 'government sources.' 👀
Actually, it was 3 minutes and it was put together from two clips.
Are they trying to run more cover? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/KvcCWskZRE

So, basically, Pam Bondi lied to us.
Recall that, when she was asked why a minute was missing from the “raw footage,” she said that it was due to the tapes resetting at midnight every night.
From Daily Mail:
Attorney General Pam Bondi was questioned about the video in a July 8 Cabinet meeting, and she claimed the Bureau of Prisons told her it was an antiquated process that happened every night when the tapes automatically reset.
Now it’s revealed the FBI is in possession of a version of the video that includes the missing minute.
It’s unclear why the section was missing when the video was released earlier in July or what is in the video that wasn’t previously shown.
And there are still questions swirling over whether the Justice Department will decide to release the found minute.
The real question is: why?
Why release an edited version of the tape? And, why lie to the public about it?
The most suspicious and infuriating thing about this is the fact that the DOJ and FBI tried to play this video off as unedited, raw footage meant to prove, unequivocally, that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself.
They tried to play us. But, we weren’t fooled.
This hilarious AI video of the “missing minute” might not even be a complete joke, at this point:

Release the full, uncut video, along with the full, unredacted files!
That is the only way forward.
