DOJ releases Epstein jail video with a missing minute
The Department of Justice released surveillance footage from the Metropolitan Correctional Center showing the hours before Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 death, but the footage contained an unexplained one-minute gap. Attorney General Pam Bondi acknowledged the gap but said it did not affect the official suicide determination. Congressional investigators immediately demanded an explanation for the missing footage.
