  • A 'missing minute' of CCTV footage related to Jeffrey Epstein's prison death has been found, contradicting claims it was recorded over.
  • The footage was part of 33,000 pages of records released by the US House oversight committee, including two hours of previously unseen video.
  • Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell at 6:30 am on August 10, 2019, with initial reports of a missing minute fueling conspiracy theories.
  • Pam Bondi, the attorney general, previously claimed the prison's CCTV system reset every 24 hours, causing a missing minute, but this was later debunked.
  • The newly released footage shows nothing unusual, with guards working outside Epstein's cell and Epstein being escorted to make a phone call.
  • Most of the released files contain already public information, including court documents related to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
  • Ghislaine Maxwell, sentenced to 20 years for sex trafficking, has reportedly met with justice officials, possibly seeking a pardon from the Trump administration.
  • The release has intensified scrutiny over Trump's ties to Epstein, with bipartisan calls for transparency and the release of all related documents.
  • Congressman Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna filed a discharge petition to force the release of all Epstein files, facing opposition from House Speaker Mike Johnson.
  • Epstein's victims and other survivors of sexual abuse are rallying in Washington DC to demand justice, with some speaking publicly for the first time.
