Beyond the Missing Minute: CBS News Finds Discrepancies in DOJ Epstein Probe

NEW YORK CITY, JUL 30 – Federal agencies recovered the previously missing minute from Epstein's jail surveillance footage, aiming to clarify his 2019 death amid ongoing conspiracy concerns, officials confirmed.

  • According to a government source, the FBI, the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice Inspector General have obtained a copy of the missing minute of Epstein’s jail footage.
  • When the Justice Department and FBI made the footage public, Bondi said the missing minute was due to a nightly reset of the jail’s camera system.
  • Analysis of metadata revealed the video created on May 23 was a stitched screen capture with a runtime of about 10 hours and 53 minutes, with a missing minute, according to Jim Stafford.
  • Despite recovery of the missing minute, officials maintain the surveillance tapes remain central to confirming Epstein’s death, amid ongoing public interest and speculation.
  • On July 18, Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a motion to unseal grand jury transcripts, citing public interest in Epstein’s and Maxwell’s trials.
