Epstein Prison Video Had Nearly 3 Minutes Cut Out

NEW YORK’S METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER, JUL 15 – Nearly 3 minutes of footage were removed from the FBI video of Epstein at MCC just before a known system gap, highlighting surveillance system malfunctions, experts said.

  • Last week, WIRED reported that nearly 3 minutes of footage were cut from Jeffrey Epstein’s prison video, with the source clip being about 2 minutes 53 seconds longer, as experts confirmed using Adobe Premiere Pro.
  • Technical reviews revealed MCC’s surveillance system was outdated and frequently malfunctioned, with the cut falling milliseconds before a nightly reset attributed by Pam Bondi.
  • Video forensics experts confirmed the footage was modified using Adobe Premiere Pro, WIRED found, confirming the edit occurred and approximately three minutes were cut.
  • In response, the DOJ and FBI reaffirmed Epstein’s death as suicide with no evidence of foul play, contrasting critics' suspicion over missing footage disclosure.
  • Democrats called for more transparency into the footage, and Deputy Director Dan Bongino reportedly took the day off after clashing with AG Pam Bondi over its handling.
