Government Source Says Agencies Hold Uncut Epstein Jail Video

MANHATTAN METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER, NEW YORK CITY, JUL 29 – A government source confirms the FBI and Justice Department possess uncut surveillance footage from the night Epstein died, addressing concerns about alleged missing video segments.

  • On July 8, Attorney General Pam Bondi informed President Trump about a one-minute gap in surveillance footage from Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan jail cell during the late hours of August 9 to 10, 2019, when Epstein was found dead in what was officially ruled a suicide.
  • Bondi attributed the missing minute to a nightly system reset of the prison’s old video equipment dating from 1999, a claim that experts in surveillance footage called unusual and inconsistent with typical video systems.
  • Earlier this month, the Justice Department and FBI made public close to 11 hours of surveillance video, which officials have stated supports the conclusion of suicide; however, forensic examination revealed the publicly shared footage was edited and combined from two segments, leaving out the critical missing minute.
  • CBS News reported on July 29, 2025, that the FBI, the Bureau of Prisons, and the DOJ inspector general each possess unedited footage that includes the previously missing minute from 11:59 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. However, both the FBI and DOJ declined to explain why this portion of the video has not been made available to the public.
  • These discrepancies keep fueling questions about Epstein’s death, while Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team requests formal immunity and conditions for congressional testimony amid the politically charged environment surrounding the case.
