The U.S. Department of Justice has released nearly 11 hours of surveillance footage from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, reaffirming that Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted child sex offender, died by suicide in August 2019. The video footage is part of a broader DOJ memo that also addresses persistent public speculation about the existence of a so-called Epstein “client list” and possible blackmail schemes involving powerful individuals. According to the memo, obtained by Axios, the FBI conducted a comprehensive review of more than 300 gigabytes of digital and physical evidence tied to Epstein. The investigation found no client list, no evidence of blackmail, and no basis to charge unindicted third parties. “This systematic review revealed no incriminating ‘client list,’” the DOJ memo states. “There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions.” The surveillance video includes both raw and enhanced versions, with the latter adjusted for clarity using contrast and sharpness tools. The footage covers the common area of the Special Housing Unit (SHU) where Epstein was being held. According to the DOJ, any individual entering or attempting to enter the tier containing Epstein’s cell would have been visible on the recording. The timeline is clear: Epstein was secured in his cell at approximately 10:40 p.m. on August 9, 2019. The video confirms that no one entered the tier until around 6:30 a.m. the next morning. That evidence, reviewed independently by the FBI, supports earlier findings by multiple agencies, including the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and the DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General. “These findings reaffirm that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his cell,” the memo concludes. This determination aligns with the DOJ’s previous positions, as well as with public statements made by FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino. Bongino, in a May appearance on Fox News, previewed the release of the footage, stating that the video would “show clear as day” that Epstein was the only person on the tier at the time. The release appears to be a direct response to years of public skepticism and widespread conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s death and alleged connections to global elites. While the memo does not deny the existence of other sensitive or sealed evidence, it firmly states that no additional charges or investigations into uncharged third parties are warranted at this time.
