A Wired magazine investigation has raised new questions about the Justice Department’s handling of prison surveillance video from the New York City federal jail where Epstein died six years ago in what was later ruled a suicide. According to Wired, metadata reveals that nearly three minutes of footage were cut from what the Trump administration described as “full raw” video from the only functioning camera near Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead.
