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.
