Fake Video Purporting to Show Jeffrey Epstein’s Final Hours Briefly Circulates Online

Analysis shows the circulating 12-second Epstein video was altered and does not originate from DOJ footage, matching a 2019 YouTube upload, raising questions about its authenticity.

  • A 12-second clip time-stamped Aug. 10, 2019 purports to show Jeffrey Epstein in his MCC New York cell, but DOJ documents confirm the file was modified and not from the Department of Justice.
  • Last Friday the Department of Justice posted an initial tranche of photos, documents, audio, and video files online under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which requires all unclassified records related to Epstein to be published.
  • Forensic reviewers identified the clip as a two-segment composite that cuts out nearly three minutes and noted the door does not match Epstein’s cell photos.
