The FBI and other government agencies have a copy of the video from outside Jeffrey Epstein’s cell on the night he died, which includes the so-called “missing minute” from the version of the tape that was released publicly.

According to a report from CBS News, the FBI, the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice inspector general have a copy of the video containing the minute from 11:59 p.m.-12:00 a.m. that was not included in the public release. Government officials have cited the video as crucial evidence that Epstein died by suicide, but critics have raised many questions about that minute being absent from the publicly available footage.

Attorney General Pam Bondi, speaking at the White House on July 8 — two days after the video was released — claimed that minute was missing from every tape in the prison every night.

“What we learned from Bureau of Prisons was every night they redo that video — it’s old…from like 1999…so every night the video is reset,” Bondi said. “And every night should have the same minute missing. So we’re looking for that video to release that as well, showing that a minute is missing every night.”

The CBS report said it is “unclear” why the video from that minute has not yet been made public. CBS also spoke with experts who told them Bondi’s explanation about the supposed reset would have been unusual — that most video surveillance systems would not have that type of reset every night.
