Overview

• The FBI plans to publish surveillance footage from the Metropolitan Correctional Center showing no one entered or exited Epstein’s cell shortly before his death.
• Deputy Director Dan Bongino said the bureau is enhancing the video for clarity and will release the original file to ensure transparency.
• The 2019 death was officially ruled a suicide by hanging and FBI officials say the new footage supports that conclusion.
• Guard failures—two officers slept on duty and falsified records—and malfunctioning cameras have fueled longstanding conspiracy theories.
• Officials remain open to credible tips but report there is no DNA, fingerprints or other evidence indicating foul play.
