Video: FBI reveals shocking new info on Jeffrey Epstein ‘suicide'
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced on Thursday that the FBI is planning to release a video that will allegedly confirm that wealthy sex offender Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in his jail cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Earlier this month, Bongino claimed that after reviewing Epstein's file, it was clear that the deceased sex offender 'killed himself.'
During a Thursday appearance on 'Fox & Friends,' Bongino said, 'I'm just telling you what we see in the file. I just want to be crystal clear on this. I am not asking anyone to believe me. I'm telling you what's there and what isn't.'
Bongino confirmed that there was video evidence pointing to Epstein's death by suicide, saying, 'There's going to be a disclosure on this coming shortly.'
Asked by 'Fox & Friends' co-host Lawrence Jones if there was a video of Epstein killing himself,' Bongino said, 'No, no, not the actual act, but the entire MCC [Metropolitan Correctional Center] bay. It was only one camera. There's video that, when you look at the video — and we will release, that's what's taken a while on this.'

Bongino told Fox News that the FBI is working to provide an 'enhanced' video regarding the Epstein case; however, he added that the agency is also planning on releasing the 'original' video so that people do not think 'there were any shenanigans' with regard to video editing.
'You will see no one in there but him. There's just nobody there,' Bongino said. 'So I say to people all the time — if you have a tip, let us know — but there's no DNA, there's no audio, there's no fingerprints, there's no suspects, there's no accomplices, there's no tips. There is nothing. If you have it, I'm happy to see it.'
'There's video clear as day,' the FBI deputy director added. 'He's the only person in there and the only person coming out. You can see it.'

Last month, FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed Epstein's death as a 'suicide' and dismissed other theories regarding the infamous sex offender's death. However, despite the FBI director's insistence that Epstein died by suicide and was not murdered, the sex offender's brother, Mark Epstein, has continued to argue that 'there's a long list of things that point away' from Jeffrey Epstein's death being a suicide.

Feds: Chinese student who voted in MI election fled US
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Federal prosecutors have unsealed a criminal case against a Chinese man accused of voting illegally in the 2024 election. The documents provide details on how 19-year-old University of Michigan student Haoxiang Gao managed to leave the U.S. despite surrendering his Chinese passport and agreeing to stay in Michigan while on bond. The case was unsealed seven months after authorities revealed that a student who wasn't a U.S. citizen had cast a ballot for the presidential election at an early voting site in Ann Arbor. Gao cast his ballot in late October, but then reportedly contacted the local clerk, asking if he could somehow get his ballot back. University investigators spoke with Gao the next day. An FBI agent wrote in the criminal case that Gao admitted to casting a vote. Law enforcement charged Gao with perjury on Nov. 8, 2024 — a charge that carries a maximum of 15 years in prison. Prosecutors say Gao surrendered one Chinese passport but used a second one issued in his name to board a Delta flight leaving from Detroit to Shanghai on Jan. 19. It was unclear how he obtained the second passport. 'We have authorized his extradition from anywhere in the world, and remain committed to prosecuting the case to the fullest extent of the law,' Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit said, according to the . By fleeing the country, Gao is now being additionally charged with flight to avoid prosecution, a felony punishable by up to five years in federal prison, on top of possible prison time for his other charges. In April, a review by the Michigan Secretary of State's office identified 15 non-U.S. citizens who cast ballots in the November election, the Detroit News . Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino claims bureau ‘closing in' on suspects who planted Jan. 6 DC pipe bombs
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino made headlines this week when he revealed the bureau was "closing in" on suspects involved in planting two pipe bombs near the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, a sign that the bureau may soon solve the nagging, four-year mystery. "The second we got in, I put a team on it and I said, 'I want answers on this,'" Bongino told "Fox & Friends." "And I'm pretty confident that we're closing in on some suspects." Law enforcement discovered the two pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic National Committees' headquarters around the same time that thousands of rioters a few blocks away began to descend on the Capitol in protest of the 2020 election results. A faction of President Donald Trump's base has since raised questions about the timing of the pipe bomb incident and security failures surrounding it and speculated that the Biden administration was not forthright to the public about the facts of the case. Prior to being sworn in, Bongino was a leading voice perpetuating that notion. Fbi 'Closing In' On Suspects In Case Of Dc Pipe Bombs Placed On Eve Of Jan 6 A former Secret Service agent and podcast host, Bongino told listeners of his popular right-wing show that the FBI lied about the pipe bomb incident because the bureau did not want people to know it was an "inside job." Read On The Fox News App Now as deputy director, Bongino is facing pressure from supporters and critics alike to release new details about the case. Video footage released by the Fbi shows an unidentified person placing the pipe bombs near the two headquarters more than 16 hours before law enforcement found them. The suspect is seen wearing a gray hoodie, Nike Air Max Speed Turf sneakers, a face mask, glasses, and gloves. Fbi Reopening Investigation Into Cocaine Found At Biden White House Prior to the administration change in January, the FBI also unveiled a minor last-minute detail that the suspect's height was about 5-foot-7. A woman who is a Capitol Hill resident alerted a security guard that she spotted the first pipe bomb in an alley behind the RNC headquarters while she was out retrieving her laundry around 1 p.m. Security footage showed her running from the area of the washer and dryer and notifying the guard. That set off a furious search that led officers at the DNC headquarters to discover a second pipe bomb there. A Department of Homeland Security (Dhs) inspector general report published last year revealed the two explosive devices were "viable" and "could have detonated, causing innocent bystanders to be seriously injured or killed." Fbi Releases Video Showing January 2021 Pipe Bomb Suspect Planting Device Outside Dnc, Rnc Offices In Dc The bombs included one-hour timers. An FBI official said they did not believe the timers could have detonated the bombs since the time had already elapsed when the bombs were found, according to the DHS report. That report and an investigative report released by House Republicans revealed that then-Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at one point came within feet of the pipe bomb by the DNC. The FBI has said it has received more than 600 tips, and it continues to offer a $500,000 reward for any successful leads. The House Republicans' report noted the FBI initially investigated a person who searched on the internet for "pipe bomb DC" and a person who had recently purchased the Nike shoes seen in the surveillance footage. The report noted, however, that the pace of the FBI's inquiry dropped off after about a month as a result of leads drying article source: FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino claims bureau 'closing in' on suspects who planted Jan. 6 DC pipe bombs

Why You Should Stop Texting On Your iPhone Or Android Phone
It's time to stop texting This is the biggest shake-up to texting and messaging in years. And for Apple and Google, it risks undermining any security and privacy assurances made around RCS. Make no mistake — this could be the best reason yet to stop texting on your phone. We have known for some time that WhatsApp is working on a username alternative to phone numbers. This is already live on Telegram and Signal and it's a game-changer. It means you can give contacts a username that's unique to the messaging platform without giving away your phone number. It also means you can stop people finding you by your phone number, preventing spam and scam messages. WhatsApp is going even further — and it's a brilliant move. As reported by the beta insiders at WABetaInfo, 'WhatsApp plans to introduce an optional PIN code feature linked to usernames, which will be required for others to initiate a new conversation with the user. This PIN will immediately 'reduce unwanted messages.' Set against the backdrop of surging smashing attacks across the U.S., which has prompted further FBI warnings this weekend, creating a protected messaging enclave in which you control access is exactly what's needed. PINs and usernames coming to WhatsApp And while there may be verified business contacts operating in a controlled manner, that's very different from the current free-for-all with Chinese OCGs running riot across SMS and RCS. Yes, advances are being made in filtering spam and scams on-device, but it's proving too easy for attackers to bombard SMS and RCS networks. Texting will always have this phone number vulnerability, and RCS which has promised so much is being let down with the increase in spam and marketing. As such, it's likely that texting will gradually be relegated on phones to an also-ran, as more protected, opt-in messaging platforms filter out all the noise. And no platform has more chance of making this work than WhatsApp, with its 3 billion users. The big hope for texting has been fully encrypting RCS, which is expected this year. There has been speculation that Apple will provide new news at WWDC. But I would be very surprised to see Apple headline anything on RCS, given that it's not a core Apple capability on iPhone and runs in parallel to iMessage. Google would have been much more likely to announce updates and changes at I/O. Make no mistake — 2025 is a huge year for messaging. Scams are spiraling out of control even as Google peddles the growth and benefits of RCS. WhatsApp is running its biggest ever marketing campaign on its privacy merits and has just released an iPad app after a decade of promises. Usernames and PINs dropping soon would be seismic for the sector, giving you the best reason yet to move wholesale from texting.
