Questions arise over the release of previously unseen footage from the night Epstein died

 


 The Department of Justice has released previously unseen surveillance footage from the night Jeffrey Epstein died in federal custody, but skeptical viewers are already questioning the official account.

The video, released Monday by the Department of Justice and the FBI, shows the hallway outside Epstein's cell at the now-shuttered Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan on the night of August 9, 2019. According to federal officials, the footage confirms that no one entered or left the area between 10:40 p.m. and 6:30 a.m., the time of Epstein's death.

However, online researchers identified a glaring omission in the footage just hours after its release: a full minute appears to be missing.
