Now, a source has confirmed that the FBI possesses the full version, including the “missing” minute — though it remains unclear why this portion was excluded from the original public release, Daily Mail reported.
The DOJ has not confirmed whether the missing minute will be released or explained publicly. Nor has it clarified what the content of the clip reveals — further feeding speculation and distrust.
DOJ & FBI Insist Epstein Was Not Murdered
In a joint memo released July 6, the DOJ and FBI reaffirmed that Epstein died by suicide, citing months of investigation. They also claimed:
-
There is no Epstein “client list”
-
No one else will face charges connected to his crimes
-
Video evidence shows no one approached Epstein’s cell before he was found dead on the morning of August 10, 2019
Bondi Faces Backlash
Attorney General Bondi has taken heat over the administration’s handling of the Epstein case, particularly as public pressure mounts for full transparency.
Bondi previously claimed other prison videos showing similar “one-minute resets” at the same facility would be shared to prove the glitch was routine — but no such videos have been released.
Public Distrust Remains High
The official narrative — that Epstein hanged himself with bedsheets while prison guards slept and surveillance glitched — has remained unchanged. But the latest revelation that the “missing” minute was never truly missing only adds fuel to public skepticism.
With the Biden DOJ having declared the matter closed, and the Trump administration now under pressure to release the remaining Epstein files, questions about who knew what — and when — are likely far from over.
