New Video Challenges Official Account of Jeffrey Epstein's Final Hours in Jail

  • Newly released Department of Justice documents reveal surveillance footage showing an "orange-colored figure" near Jeffrey Epstein's cell on the night of his death.
  • The video, from August 9, 2019, shows the figure moving up the stairs to the locked L Tier where Epstein was housed, contradicting official claims that no one entered his tier.
  • The FBI initially identified the figure as "possibly an inmate," while the Department of Justice Inspector General later suggested it was an unidentified corrections officer carrying orange bedding.
  • Independent video analysts, however, argue the movement is more consistent with an inmate or someone in an orange prison uniform than a corrections officer.
  • Epstein's death on August 10, 2019, was officially ruled a suicide by hanging, but the new video raises further questions about the circumstances surrounding his death.
