Overview

• Wired and independent experts identified metadata indicating the video was processed in Adobe Premiere Pro instead of exported directly from the prison’s surveillance system.
• Analysis shows the clip was assembled from at least two source recordings, saved and exported multiple times before being labeled as “raw.”
• A one-minute timestamp gap from 11:58:58 p.m. to 12:00:00 a.m. remains unexplained despite Attorney General Pam Bondi attributing it to the camera’s daily reset.
• The DOJ and FBI’s joint memo reaffirming Epstein’s suicide and the absence of a client list has been overshadowed by concerns over the footage’s authenticity.
• Tensions between Attorney General Pam Bondi and senior DOJ officials, highlighted by a reported walkout by Dan Bongino, underscore internal fallout over the video’s handling.
