There was no "missing minute" in Epstein jail video, government source says
The "missing minute" from the surveillance video at the Manhattan Metropolitan Correctional Center where Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019 may not be missing after all, CBS News has learned.
When the Justice Department and FBI released nearly 11 hours of footage earlier this month, the time code on the screen jumped forward one minute just before midnight, prompting questions about the one-minute gap. The video shows part of the area near the cell where Epstein was being held the night he died in what the medical examiner ruled a suicide.
A government source familiar with the investigation says the FBI, the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice inspector general are all in possession of a copy of the video that does not cut from just before 11:59 p.m. to midnight of the night Epstein died by suicide in his cell.

Read this more closely. The reporting here is that the “missing minute(s)” exist, and that what was published publicly was not the “raw footage,” but rather a screen capture of footage.
So when they said they released raw footage, they lied. When they said stuff about some “nightly reset,” they lied.
Headline bad.
Don't forget where this started, them claiming the cameras were not functioning that night. Then way way later oh look we found footage (with a chunk cut out). For all we know that footage was just recorded at a later date and the timestamp changed.
Oh yeah. These aren't just "we misspoke" or "if you look at it like" or "at the time we thought". They're bald-faced intentional lies.
Don't forget about the footage released also being of two separate videos files stitched together and that the playback speed had been altered.
The same CBS News that just got a merger approved by Trump personally?
The Trump dictated FCC that could hold up or stop the merger if they didn’t pay $16 mill and fire Colbert? That CBS?
Hey CBS didn't you just pay the president a ton of money to appease him...?
To approve your merger.
CBS News? You mean the network that decided to bend the knee? Not sure I trust this source any longer
CBS Snooze
Yeah the ONE source that famously just capitulated to the regime, imma press X to Doubt all day
They aren't disagreeing with that. They are reporting that a source within the government claims the footage in the gap exists.
And yet the headline and opening paragraph impli otherwise in a deliberate attempt to deceive a casual reader.
Sorry CBS, y'all have no more credibility. You torched your journalistic integrity and no one should look to you for the truth anymore.
Last I remember the total count was 3 minutes
CBS is compromised after paying their 16 million bribe
so the whole "its an old system that resets every night so you always lose a minute at that time" thing was as obvious a lie as it seemed when she said it.
3 minutes
You can trust everything the government says just ask any Native American.
🖕
What's the name of that green character from Mario again?
Then show us the missing footage?
We ... Taped over it. Someone in the FBI was on America's got talent, so ... yeah. He wasn't very good though. Nerves.
So when they said they were going to release the entire unedited thing they meant what exactly????
We've always been at war with East Asia.
These are not the droids you're looking for.
Why did the camera move? Fixed cameras are just that...
"Who you gonna believe? Me, or your lyting eyes?"
We have always been at war with Eastasia
The COWARD network reported this?
See BS
CBS is State Media now
So then release that actual, real, unedited version to shut us up about it.
Oh, you won't?
You can't trust CBS. They are anti free speech
There are five lights.
The quality of CBS's reporting is far, far lower than the bribe they paid to Trump (in addition to firing Stephen Colbert) to have his FCC approve their merger. Also, it was 3 minutes, not 1.
So they have a video where it's not missing, but they just chose to not release that version?
How is that better?
"Don't look behind the curtain. There is no man behind the curtain!"
Missing minute does not mean it does not exist just that its not shown.
We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing.
So they have the one minute footage where trump walks in and gives him the terms for a pardon?
Even if there were a missing minute, or three, here's the problem:
For the conspiracy theory to work, somone would have had to have snuck in, murdered Epstein, and snuck out, without appearing on video on either side of that 1-3 minute window.
I really just don't see how that's possible. Obviously it depends on how much "real estate" is covered in the video, if we're talking a 20 foot hallway or something, there's no way someone is doing that without getting caught on the recording either going in or coming out.
OR there's more than 1-3 minutes missing... Or the whole thing is faked.
One of the stair ways leading to the cell is obscured, we can't rule out that entry way. Also the video doesn't rule out that other inmates on the block could have done the deed.
The amount of you chucklefucks that only read the headline is astounding. The post's body even has the info you seek, but nope, gotta react to that headline.Edit: Oh! I see what you're saying now
Enlighten us, lord
Yes, tell us more about how CBS, which just begged and bribed Trump to approve a corporate merger with Paramount, should be trusted when it tells us to disbelieve our eyes.
Tell us further how, even if you apply a tone of extreme sarcasm to the body of the article, it's not an attempt to deceive those headline only readers or, for that matter, the LLMs scraping articles.
