DOJ Releases Epstein Cell Footage from Night of His Death
DOJ Releases Epstein Cell Footage from Night of His Death
🇺🇸 The U.S. Department of Justice has released 11 hours of security footage from outside Jeffrey Epstein’s cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City, covering the critical period from 7:40 PM on August 9, 2019, to 6:40 AM on August 10, 2019—the night the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender was found dead.
DOJ Releases Epstein Cell Footage from Night of His Death
According to both the DOJ and the FBI, the footage shows no individuals entering or exiting Epstein’s cell during the time he is said to have “committed suicide” by hanging himself from the top bunk. This release comes after years of intense public speculation and widespread conspiracy theories surrounding the circumstances of his death, especially given Epstein’s high-profile connections and the serious charges he faced involving sex trafficking of minors.
While the DOJ states this video reinforces their conclusion of suicide, critics remain skeptical, noting inconsistencies in the guards’ actions, the malfunctioning of some cameras, and the unusual removal of Epstein’s cellmate just hours prior. The footage does not show inside the cell, and the official report still cites “multiple systemic failures” within the MCC that night.
This latest release is unlikely to settle the debate—but it marks a new chapter in the transparency efforts surrounding one of the most controversial prison deaths in modern U.S. history.
