CCTV footage taken outside disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein has now been released, six years after the notorious paedophile was found dead. Around 11 hours of CCTV footage taken from inside the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in New York City on August 9 and 10 2019 has been publicly revealed for the first time, amide a probe into his death. Following his arrest on multiple charges, including sex trafficking, he was found unresponsive in his cell early in the morning of August 10 and was later declared dead in hospital. Coroners at the time ruled he had committed suicide by hanging, and now an FBI and Department of Justice (DoJ) investigation into his death has concluded the same. The footage, released as part of the investigation, appears to shows the orange-clad paedophile being led to his cells by a guard and being trailed by a second one at 7.49pm on the night of August 9. The trio were apparently seen walking across common area as the move to Epstein's cell in the video, released to US news site Axios. The DoJ said that while the footage doesn't show his cell door, it would capture anyone moving to it. And other than the guards leaving, no one else walks to or from Epstein's cell. The joint investigation has concluded that Epstein was not murdered, nor did he blackmail powerful figures or keep a 'client list.' The well-connected financier and Maxwell kept a wide circle of friends from fellow billionaires to politicians like Trump and Clinton, and entertainment icons. The memo from the FBI and DOJ announced that no one involved in the Epstein case will follow former right-hand woman Ghislaine Maxwell to prison, as no further charges will be filed. Epstein's death led to several conspiracy theories and a general hunger for knowledge regarding his crimes. In May, the FBI's deputy director Dan Bongino confirmed the footage was set to be released, following a campaign pledge by US president Donald Trump. The issue of Epstein's death has charged many in Trump's sphere. In March, his attorney general Pam Bondi released hundreds of pages detailing information connected to Epstein, claiming to have disclosed 'a lot of names' and flight logs that would 'make you sick.' The first wave of documents have largely been circulating in the public domain for years and so far are yet to include any new bombshells, leading to great disappointment from the public. 'What you're going to see, hopefully tomorrow, is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information,' Bondi previewed on Fox. 'But, it's pretty sick what that man did, along with his co-defendant,' referring to Ghislaine Maxwell. The officially declassified material included flight logs, Epstein's infamous contact book, an evidence list and a masseuse list in ten different links posted to the Department of Justice website. The contact list, which has previously circulated in various forms, shows redacted information for dozens of the Hollywood, political and fashion elite and was purportedly compiled by Epstein and his longtime confidante Maxwell. Personal contact information was redacted throughout the list. FBI Director Kash Patel had been a skeptic of the official findings behind Epstein's death, however, he told Joe Rogan that since he'd taken over the bureau, he hadn't found 'what you want,' which he described as 'some guy or gal committing felonies.' 'If I had it, I'd be the first guy to bring this case hard and fast,' Patel claimed. He added that his team at the FBI has viewed everything they have been given lawful access to from the infamous island. Epstein's 'pedo island' aka Little Saint James in the US Virgin Islands was a focal point of his horrific child-sex-trafficking operation. It has long been believed that Epstein hosted a wide array of rich and famous clients at the island. Patel said that the bureau is doing the best that they can and encouraged anyone with information to get in touch. 'I got here 100 days ago. I can't be held to account for 20 years of failures,' he said. Though Patel claimed that his FBI will 'give you everything we can' he does have some boundaries set around Epstein's victims. 'Remember, we're not gonna' re-victimize women. We're not gonna' put that s*** back out there. It's not happening because then, he wins.'

Epstein prison CCTV is finally RELEASED 6yrs after paedo's ‘suicide'…as probe ‘reveals whether financier killed himself'
James Halpin Published: Invalid Date, PRISON CCTV outside Jeffrey Epstein's cell has finally been released six years after the paedo was found dead. Around 11 hours of footage has been released from inside the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in New York City on the 9th and 10th of August in 2019. 5 5 5 It shows a grey-haired Epstein in an orange jump suit being led to his cell by a guard from the left of the footage. The pair move down a small flight of stairs and walk across the common area as they walk to the cell. CCTV footage doesn't show Epstein's cell door, but it would capture anyone walking to it, the Justice Department said. Other than the guard leaving, no one walks across the common area towards Epstein's cell or away from it. The footage was caught between 7.40pm and 10am the next day. The disgraced financier was found hanged in jail on the 10th, but speculation has been rife that others were involved. FBI deputy director Dan Bongino pledged to release the footage after it had been a Donald Trump campaign promise. Bongino wants to end all debate by releasing proof that no one entered or left the cell before the suicide. The FBI has now concluded Epstein died by suicide and that he had no "client list" used to blackmail powerful figures. Investigators found "no credible evidence … that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals" and no "evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties". Bongino said the footage will prove the official police records to be correct. Attorney general Pam Bondi released hundreds of pages of information connected to Epstein in March, promising it would disclose "a lot of names" and flight logs that would "make you sick". But the much-awaited release of flight logs and more was overhyped by Bondi and fell flat. Elon Musk has also accused Trump of being in the files after the pair's relationship broke apart. Musk provided no evidence and later deleted the post saying he went "too far". 5 5
