Three minutes cut from 'raw' prison footage of the night Epstein died
Nearly three minutes of 'raw' footage Trump's Justice Department released from a camera by Jeffrey Epstein's prison cell the night he died appear to have been cut out. Independent video forensic experts have determined that the first of two files previously found to have been stitched together into the 'full raw' CCTV footage is missing 2 minutes and 53 seconds. It is not known what the trimmed minutes showed. The missing minutes were reported on Tuesday by WIRED, which analyzed video metadata and ran it by experts. After the Justice Department and FBI last week released the footage meant to carry out the Trump administration's plan to fully investigate Epstein's death, the magazine discovered that it consisted of two separate videos melded together in Adobe Premiere Pro. The new finding of the several unaccounted for minutes could have to do with a nearly one-minute gap that US Attorney General Pam Bondi has blamed on a nightly system reset. The gap in the video occurs from 11.58.58pm to 12.00.00am. Metadata shows that the first clip from August 9, 2019, continued for a few minutes longer, but was instead cut at 11.58.58pm before the jump, according to WIRED. Meanwhile, the second file starts at midnight, which could mean that the two clips would overlap. The mystery around the missing minutes comes as the Trump administration faces blowback from lawmakers and even the president's MAGA base on their handling of the Epstein files. Along with the video, the Justice Department and FBI released a two-page memo stating they did not find an incriminating Epstein client list after doing an extensive review. Bondi months ago had said that the convicted sex offender and ex-financier's list of alleged accomplices was 'sitting on (her) desk right now to review'. That's why the administration's about-face on the matter has been especially shocking. President Donald Trump has repeatedly told the public not to waste time on the Epstein files. On Wednesday, he blasted Democrats and some of his fellow Republicans, writing on his Truth Social platform: 'Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.' More Trending As conspiracy theories fly anew around the video, many eyes are also on Epstein's former lover and employee, Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell, who is serving time for a child sex trafficking conviction, has reportedly indicated she is willing to testify before Congress on Epstein's client list. Maxwell's former prison dormmate earlier this week shared a chilling take on what her fate could ultimately be, suggesting that the disgraced British socialite's life could be in danger. 'Just putting this out there: I know Ghislaine Maxwell personally when I was in prison with her. She isn't suicidal in the least,' wrote Jessica Watkins on X on Monday. 'There are also virtually no working cameras in FCI Tallahassee. Just getting ahead of potential narratives.'

Trump's Epstein excuse crumbles as forensics discover THREE MINUTES of missing video footage
Forensic experts have discovered that nearly three minutes of footage were cut from the 'full raw' video of Jeffrey Epstein's suicide in prison that the FBI presented to squash conspiracies last week. The surveillance tapes were released to back up the DOJ's claim that disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Epstein did indeed kill himself in a New York City prison cell in August 2019. However, an analysis published by WIRED shows that the file was in fact not raw, but stitched together using Adobe Premiere Pro from two clips. One of the clips was originally four hours and 19 minutes long, but it had nearly two minutes and 53 seconds cut out. The cut occurs at 11:58:58 pm - which is mere milliseconds before there is a one-minute gap in the tape. The second clip resumes at midnight on the dot. Attorney General Pam Bondi blamed the gap on a 'nightly system reset.' Though the timing may suggest overlap, the metadata shows that the file was modified multiple times on May 23, 2025, over a span of more than three hours, contradicting the notion that this was 'raw' footage. WIRED pressed the DOJ for comment on the edits, and a spokesperson replied in minutes, saying 'Refer you to the FBI'. The FBI then declined to comment. Forensic experts have discovered that nearly three minutes of footage were cut from the 'full raw' video of Jeffrey Epstein's suicide in prison that the FBI presented last week. The Trump administration released the tape in order to squash theories that Epstein was murdered, but the discovery of missing footage has only re-ignited such conspiracies. The Justice Department found that Epstein died at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City on August 10, 2019, from what feds ruled was suicide. In the six years since, several have asked how such an important, surveilled figure managed to take his life without being stopped. Experts enlisted by WIRED determined the footage was assembled from at least two source clips, and that it was then saved multiple times and exported before being uploaded to the DOJ website. Analysts disclaimed the publication it was unclear what exactly was manipulated, and that the edits may not have been meant to deceive. Still, the revelation was a sizable one, considering skepticism that had already emerged following the video's release Monday. The doubt stemmed from the 'raw' released footage's timestamp, which jumps ahead one minute at midnight on August 10. The jump is present in the original clip as well an enhanced version released by the FBI. US Attorney General Pam Bondi - who was appointed following the spectacular flameout that enveloped first-pick Matt Gaetz - tried to explain away the missing minute of footage on Tuesday alongside Donald Trump and Marco Rubio. She billed it as part of a routine reset that takes place at the center every night, claiming: '[E]very night the video is reset, and every night should have the same minute missing.' Bondi also said the Justice Department was looking to publish additional footage to prove it was part of a regular reset undertaken at the prison and not an elaborate coverup. Further fueling speculation Monday was feds' insistence that the long-awaited 'client list' did not exist, after Bondi just months before bragged on Fox News that the list of alleged, potential accomplices was 'sitting on [her] desk right now to review.' That same month, in February, the White House released a compilation of Epstein documents that turned out to contain no new information. Bondi has since claimed she was 'misled' about the 'files'' true contents. The footage released Monday - along with the statement that attempted to put the case to rest - was the only offering from the federal government since. The conclusion that it had been edited was reached by video forensics experts who poured through the footage's metadata. The term refers to data within data that gives glimpses about into important aspects like how it was created. It is also used to summarize basic information about data that can make tracking and working with specific data easier. Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley whose research focuses on digital forensics and misinformation, told Wired the footage would not be considered valid evidence in court. Trump, meanwhile, had promised during campaign to declassify missing details about Epstein's associates, as well as put to bed intrigue about what many conservatives believe may have been a clandestine homicide to keep him quiet. Since Monday, MAGA diehards have expressed frustration with Trump's camp's handling of the classified documents, considering Epstein's rich and powerful friends. Trump, who once palled around with Epstein, on Tuesday expressed awe that the saga has continued to drag on. 'Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?' Trump asked a reporter who called out a question to Bondi about Epstein. 'This guy's been talked about for years... We have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things, and are people still talking about this guy, this creep? That is unbelievable.' The White House has said the footage and memo are both authentic. The FBI did not respond to specific questions about the file's processing when asked by Wired, referring it to the DOJ. The DOJ then referred inquiries back to the FBI and the Bureau of Prisons.

Jeffrey Epstein prison footage metadata reveals nearly 3 minutes were cut, disputes DOJ's ‘raw' claim: Report
New metadata analysis has revealed that nearly three minutes of surveillance footage were cut from what the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) described as 'full raw' video from the only working camera near Jeffrey Epstein's cell on the night before his death. The discovery, reported by WIRED, has reignited concerns about how the video evidence was edited and presented to the public. DOJ and FBI released the footage last week as part of the Trump administration's effort to put lingering questions about Epstein's 2019 death to rest. However, according to the American magazine website report, metadata embedded in the video shows that it was stitched together using Adobe Premiere Pro from two separate clips, contradicting claims that the footage was unedited. Further analysis by the publication revealed that the first clip originally ran nearly three minutes longer than what was included in the final version. The trimmed segment ends precisely at 11:58:58 PM on August 9, 2019, just before a widely reported one-minute system 'reset' that occurred at midnight. The report stated that the two source video files were titled '2025-05-22 and '2025-05-22 The first file was 4 hours, 19 minutes, and 16 seconds long, but only 4 hours, 16 minutes, and 23.368 seconds of it made it into the released footage—leaving a gap of 2 minutes and 53 seconds. The second clip begins exactly at 12:00:00 AM and runs until 6:40:00 AM. While DOJ and FBI have maintained that the midnight gap was caused by a normal surveillance system reset, WIRED's forensic review—confirmed by two independent experts—shows that the video was actively edited and saved over a three-and-a-half-hour period on May 23, 2025. The editing history also includes multiple saves and an export timeline that contradicts the narrative of an unedited, continuous video record. Both the 'raw' and enhanced versions of the footage, as reviewed by the publication, contain internal comment markers—annotations often used by video editors to flag specific moments. The enhanced video, referred to as Video 2 by the FBI, includes 15 such markers aligned with movement near the '46 door,' located near Epstein's cell block at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC). While the markers are visible in the metadata, the original comments were removed prior to release. When WIRED contacted the DOJ for clarification at 7:40 a.m. on Tuesday, public affairs officer Natalie Baldassarre responded just two minutes later, saying only: 'Refer you to the FBI.' The FBI, in turn, declined to comment. A 2023 report by the DOJ's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) had already flagged serious issues with the MCC's surveillance system, noting that it was 'outdated,' poorly maintained, and that DVRs often malfunctioned. At the time of Epstein's death, only two cameras were functioning near the Special Housing Unit (SHU) where he was held. One of those cameras captured the hallway outside the tiers, though Epstein's cell door itself was not visible. The stairway to the tier where he was held was also partially obstructed, according to the OIG. Despite these limitations, both the 2023 OIG report and last week's DOJ-FBI memo claim that any individual entering Epstein's tier would have been captured on camera. The memo also stated unequivocally that no 'incriminating client list' exists and reaffirmed the conclusion that Epstein died by suicide. The metadata also included a partial username, 'MJCOLE~1,' suggesting that someone with that account may have been responsible for the edits. However, WIRED notes that the full name cannot be determined from the metadata alone.

Metadata confirms the first video file, showing footage from August 9, 2019, continued for several minutes beyond what appears in the final version.

Both versions include internal comment markers, annotations typically used in editing software to flag moments of interest. Metropolitan Correctional Center surveillance system limitations According to a 2023 DOJ Office of the Inspector General report, only two cameras near the Special Housing Unit where Epstein was held were filming at the time of his death.

However, Epstein's cell door was not within the camera's field of view.

"What's going on with my 'boys' and, in some cases, 'gals?' They're all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "We're on one Team, MAGA, and I don't like what's happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and 'selfish people' are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein."
