Forensic Analysis Finds DOJ's Epstein Death Video Was Edited
NEW YORK CITY, JUL 11 – Metadata analysis and expert reviews reveal the FBI's Jeffrey Epstein prison video was likely edited, with a nearly three-minute gap contradicting claims of unaltered footage release.
- The Department of Justice released nearly 11 hours of surveillance footage from a camera near Jeffrey Epstein's prison cell this week to address conspiracy theories about his suicide.
- Metadata examined by WIRED and independent analysts reveals that the footage was altered using professional editing software—most likely Adobe Premiere Pro—rather than coming straight from the prison’s surveillance system.
- The video file, compiled from at least two separate clips, was saved multiple times within a 23-minute period on May 23, 2025, by a user operating on a Windows system, adding complexity to the Justice Department’s explanation amid internal conflicts over disclosure.
- Lawyer Alan Dershowitz confirmed that Epstein-related files and names exist but are suppressed, while commentator Mike Rothschild noted that unclear official explanations will fuel conspiracy theories further.
- The video release and ensuing discord, including DOJ officials clashing over handling, suggest ongoing tension and unresolved questions that may sustain public skepticism about Epstein's death.

Metadata From the "Raw" Epstein Video Shows Something Extremely Sketchy
When reviewing the metadata on newly-released "full raw" security camera footage from outside the cell where billionaire sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein spent his last day alive, experts found something very odd: that it appears to have been manipulated. As Wired reports, the allegedly "raw" video that the Justice Department just released — in tandem with the repeated claim that Epstein died by suicide, and a bizarre insistence that he did not have…
