Overview

  • FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino previously questioned Epstein’s death ruling but now asserts that the video leaves no doubt it was suicide.
  • The roughly 12-hour clip shows Epstein making a phone call and guards checking on his cell area at regular intervals with no one else entering the bay.
  • Bongino says the FBI is coordinating with the Justice Department on additional disclosures of evidence, though officials have not set a release date.
  • Mark Epstein continues to dispute the suicide finding and has urged a new federal investigation into his brother’s death.
  • FBI Director Kash Patel has cautioned that the government is in no rush to publish more files related to the case despite mounting public interest.
