New reports confirm that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has released a controversial video purportedly showing Jeffrey Epstein attempting to hang himself in his New York jail cell. This 12-second video, discovered within recently released Epstein files, has been debunked as a fake, leaving onlookers shocked and outraged.
The video, timestamped at 4:29 AM on the day Epstein died, was unearthed by journalists from Drop Site News, alongside entrepreneur Luke Igel and software engineer Riley Walz. The footage, which appears to show Epstein in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City, has been identified as a computer-generated imagery (CGI) creation first uploaded to YouTube in October 2020.
“This is how seriously the DOJ is taking the Epstein Files release,” said independent journalist Tara Palmeri, who hosts “The Tara Palmeri Show” podcast. “It’s a joke to them.” The video depicts a disturbing scene of Epstein on his knees, seemingly attempting to strangle himself with an orange inmate uniform, mirroring images from his actual cell.
Critics are questioning why the DOJ included this discredited video in its file release, which has now been removed from public access. A link to the video now leads to a page displaying “Access Denied.” Ryan Grim, founder of Drop Site News, expressed disbelief over the situation, stating, “Nothing about this video makes sense and it’s unclear why it is included in the DOJ files.”
The incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding the transparency of the DOJ in the Epstein case, raising more questions about the integrity of the information being released. As public outrage grows, many are demanding accountability and clarity from government officials involved in the Epstein investigation.
The implications of this release extend beyond mere disbelief; it reflects a deeper societal frustration over how high-profile cases are handled by authorities. As this story develops, it is crucial for the public to remain informed about any further updates from the DOJ regarding the Epstein files.
Stay tuned for more updates on this alarming situation as it unfolds.
