House Oversight Releases Missing Minute from Epstein Jail Footage

The House Oversight Committee has released a substantial collection of documents and surveillance footage related to Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 death in custody, including the critical one-minute gap from prison surveillance video initially omitted in July. The missing minute, which occurs just before midnight on August 9, 2019, was revealed to be a splice between two separate video segments, contradicting Attorney General Pam Bondi's earlier claim that the minute was routinely missing due to video system resets. Newly released footage shows guards near Epstein's cell during this time but does not reveal any suspicious activity. The release also included additional flight logs from Epstein’s travels between 2000 and 2014. While Republicans highlight the new footage as significant, Democrats criticize the dump as largely containing previously available information, with only a small portion of genuinely new content related to flight logs. The documents and videos have reignited debate over Epstein's death, with some lawmakers and survivors pushing for accountability for powerful individuals connected to the case.
