The forensic analysis and found that the “raw” footage: Was exported using Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 — a professional video editing program. Had been stitched together from various camera feeds. Showed signs of recompression, meaning it had been processed after leaving the surveillance system.
The missing footage cuts out at 11:59:58 PM and resumes at 12:00:58 AM. Pam Bondi claimed this was due to an “old system reset” that happens daily. Yet no system documentation has been released. Surveillance systems don’t normally lose time during a reset — especially exactly one minute every night.
This wasn’t an isolated glitch: Two cameras outside Epstein’s cell malfunctioned the night of his death. The guards fell asleep, falsified logs, and failed their rounds. The camera inside his cell (which would have captured the actual moment) reportedly had corrupted data.

“This is not what raw surveillance footage looks like. It’s been touched. Extensively.” — Video forensic specialist, analyzing DOJ release
