Jeffrey Epstein's final moments revealed in 11-hour video showing what REALLY happened to the disgraced pedophile
Footage shows around 7:49 p.m. an orange jumpsuit-claden handcuffed man presumed to be Epstein being escorted to his cell by two guards the night of August 9, 2019.
But a thick wooden handrail of a common-area staircase obscures the face of the inmate being escorted.
The remainder of the several hours of video show activity in the area overnight, but no one walking back towards Epstein's cell, which is not on camera.
That is until around 6:27 a.m. when activity could be seen around the area leading to Epstein's cell as guards received and prepared breakfast carts for the inmates.
At 6:30 a.m., a very blurry image shows a guard running back into frame from where Epstein's cell was to what appears to be the guard station and then walking back.
A prior report from the Justice Department said that between August 9, 2019 at 10:40 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. on August 10, no one was seen entering Epstein's cell tier.
Release of the footage by the Justice Department was meant to prove that the disgraced financier and convicted child sex offender was not murdered despite a spate of online speculation that theorized Epstein did not kill himself.
In January 2020, prosecutors claimed that the surveillance video outside of Epstein's cell the night of his death was accidentally destroyed. They claim the jail mistakenly kept footage from the wrong cell and that due to 'technical errors' video from his tier was gone because it was not saved in the backup system.
This has only further fueled skepticism about his cause of death, especially now that video has been released.
An unsigned memo with DOJ and FBI seals was published by Axios on Sunday night.
It underscored that the agency, now under President Donald Trump's leadership, did not find any proof that Epstein had a client list of that he was murdered.
The DOJ said that while the door was not in frame of the CCTV footage, anyone moving to or from it would be captured.
The investigation, the memo states, concludes that Epstein was not murdered, he didn't blackmail powerful figures nor keep a so-called 'client list.'
Attorney General Pam Bondi said on a few occasions that she was in possession of a such a 'client list' of high-profile figures who engaged in nefarious and illicit activity with Epstein.
She said after reviewing the documents, she would publicize them at the behest of President Donald Trump.
Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell is already serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking.
The memo first published Sunday night by Axios says that no one involved in the case will be charged outside of Maxwell.
Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York City when guards went to bring him breakfast after 6:30 a.m. on August 10, 2019.
There was a bedsheet wrapped around Epstein's neck and he was in cardiac arrest. Prison guards initiated CPR.
At 6:33 a.m., guards activated an alarm and notified supervisors of the incident.
One said: 'Epstein hung himself.'

Freddie the K9 beagle returns to work after being kicked by passenger at airport
A police K9 went back to work at Dulles International Airport in Virginia, outside Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, two weeks after being kicked so hard by a traveler that he became airborne. Freddie, a beagle, was screening a man's luggage and alerted his handler, Customs and Border Protection Agriculture Specialist Melissa Snyder, that the bag may contain fruit and other foods on June 24. Seventy-year-old Hamed Aly Marie, an Egyptian national, had arrived at the airport along with his wife. Snyder asked about their luggage, and it was at that point that Marie intentionally kicked Freddie's right side, lifting the dog off the ground and causing bruising and a contusion, according to CBP. 'It scared him more than anything,' Snyder told CBS News. She said the K9 was taken to see an emergency veterinarian. Marie was detained by CBP and handed over to authorities with the Department of Homeland Security. Freddie was originally a rescue dog but has spent nearly two years in the service of CBP. The K9 was trained to identify luggage holding food items from abroad which may lead to the possible introduction of pests or blights that could damage American agriculture. "He thinks we're playing hide-and-seek and he loves to play hide-and-seek all day," Snyder told CBS News. "To him, it's the greatest game in the world, because he gets paid in treats." Beagles, a relatively small breed with a powerful sense of smell, are optimal for airport work as they may come across as less threatening than larger dogs. During his 22 months at CBP, Freddie has found 4,500 pounds of plant products and 3,800 pounds of meat. That includes 140 pounds of bushmeat such as rats, snakes, camels, and crocodiles. CBP said in a statement that Marie's bag held more than 100 pounds of agricultural products not allowed to enter the U.S. He has pleaded guilty to a federal criminal count of malicious assault on a police animal. Marie was sentenced to time served and agreed to pay Freddie's veterinarian fee, totaling $840. He flew back to Egypt on June 26. Snyder said in a video shared by CBP on Facebook 'It's impressive that people who aren't even citizens of the country are equally concerned about what's happened to him.' She added that because of the bruising to his right side, he's on 'light duty for a couple of weeks.' 'Freddie is probably the sweetest dog we have,' she continued. 'He likes to show off.' 'Whenever he comes to and from the kennel, he has a ducky toy that he thinks he has to carry back and forth,' she noted, before thanking people who have reached out to share their support. 'It's greatly appreciated, it's been nice to have the support from everyone who really cares about him,' said Snyder. Christine Waugh, CBP's Area Port Director for Washington, D.C., said in a statement on June 26: 'Being caught deliberately smuggling well over one hundred pounds of undeclared and prohibited agriculture products does not give one permission to violently assault a defenseless Customs and Border Protection beagle.' 'We rely heavily on our K9 partners, and Freddie was just doing his job,' she added. 'Any malicious attack on one of us is an attack on all of us, and CBP will continue to work with our investigating and prosecuting partners to deal swift and severe justice to perpetrators.'

The Secret Service suspended six staffers without pay or benefits after Trump assassination attempt
The Secret Service suspended six staffers without pay or benefits after President Donald Trump 's first assassination attempt nearly a year ago. On July 13, 2024, Trump, who was the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination at the time, was at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a 20-year-old gunman fired at him. A bullet grazed Trump's ear, prompting Secret Service agents to shield him with their own bodies. As Trump was being swept away to safety, he raised his fist in the air and mouthed, 'Fight, fight, fight.' The gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, killed one person and injured two others before a Secret Service sniper fatally shot him. Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn has now told CBS News six agency staffers were put on unpaid leave for 10 to 42 days after the attempt on Trump's life. The agents were denied benefits during their suspension, and when they came back to work, they were placed into restricted duty or roles with less operational responsibility, according to the CBS report. Quinn admitted the attempted assassination was an 'operational failure' for which the Secret Service is 'totally accountable'. But the deputy director defended the decision not to fire the six agents outright. "We aren't going to fire our way out of this,' he said. 'We're going to focus on the root cause and fix the deficiencies that put us in that situation." Then-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle stepped down from her leadership role shortly after the Butler incident and subsequent calls for her resignation. A bipartisan House task force found 'various failures in planning, execution, and leadership' that, mixed with 'preexisting conditions,' created 'an environment in which [Trump] — and everyone at the campaign event — were exposed to grave danger,' according to a 180-page report. The report identified 'preexisting issues in leadership and training' at the Secret Service. That included agency staffers 'with little to no experience in advance planning roles [who] were given significant responsibility, despite the July 13 event being held at a higher-risk outdoor venue with many line of sight issues, in addition to specific intelligence about a long-range threat.' Another assassination attempt on Trump at his Florida golf course on September 15, 2024, was foiled by a Secret Service agent who fired at suspect Ryan Routh before a single shot was fired at Trump. Routh faces federal charges for the assassination attempt.
