• Metadata analysis shows nearly three minutes were cut from the Justice Department and FBI’s surveillance video of Jeffrey Epstein’s cell area.
• The footage was edited and stitched together from two source clips in Adobe Premiere Pro, contradicting official claims that it was unedited “raw” video.
• Attorney General Pam Bondi attributed a one-minute recording gap to a nightly system reset, but experts say the trim extends beyond that interval.
• When asked for clarification, the DOJ directed inquiries to the FBI, which declined to comment on the video’s assembly.
• A 2023 Inspector General report warned that the Metropolitan Correctional Center’s surveillance cameras were outdated and frequently malfunctioned.
