The “missing minute” from the surveillance video at the Manhattan Metropolitan Correctional Center where Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019 may not be missing after all, CBS News has learned.
When the Justice Department and FBI released nearly 11 hours of footage earlier this month, the time code on the screen jumped forward one minute just before midnight, prompting questions about the one-minute gap. The video shows part of the area near the cell where Epstein was being held the night he died in what the medical examiner ruled a suicide.
A government source familiar with the investigation says the FBI, the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice inspector general are all in possession of a copy of the video that does not cut from just before 11:59 p.m. to midnight of the night Epstein died by suicide in his cell.
Read this more closely. The reporting here is that the “missing minute(s)” exist, and that what was published publicly was not the “raw footage,” but rather a screen capture of footage.
So when they said they released raw footage, they lied. When they said stuff about some “nightly reset,” they lied.
Headline bad.
Don’t forget where this started, them claiming the cameras were not functioning that night. Then way way later oh look we found footage (with a chunk cut out). For all we know that footage was just recorded at a later date and the timestamp changed.
Oh yeah. These aren’t just “we misspoke” or “if you look at it like” or “at the time we thought”. They’re bald-faced intentional lies.
Don’t forget about the footage released also being of two separate videos files stitched together and that the playback speed had been altered.
