Digital forensics experts raised some concerns during a recent News Nation segment about a video gap related to Jeffrey Epstein’s time in prison.

Epstein, who was convicted on sexual charges back in 2008, died by suicide in his Manhattan jail while awaiting trial after being arrested again in 2019. Jake Green, a digital forensics expert, mentioned to News Nation host Ashley Banfield that Attorney General Pam Bondy characterized the situation as feeling “off.”

“There are so many issues with this video. You can notice a gap in time, and there are some noticeable jumps,” Green said during the discussion. “It’s surprising and a bit unsettling that the DOJ would release something like this.”

The DOJ recently released a video from Manhattan Prison, which reportedly has a 62-second gap in a total of 11 hours of footage. Bondy explained that this gap was due to the system resetting just before midnight each day. Metadata connected with the video indicates that nearly three minutes of footage is missing and that it has been pieced together from two separate recordings.

“What we’re observing now clearly falls outside of standard digital forensic practices,” Green argued further.

A note from Axios dated July 6 stated that the DOJ concluded Epstein committed suicide and maintained that there was no significant “client list.” Michael Franze, a former inmate who shared a cell with Epstein, claimed during a recent News Nation appearance that there was “nothing” suggesting he took his own life.

The coroner, hired by Epstein’s brother, noted injuries that could contradict the suicide ruling. Charges against security guards Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, who supposedly fell asleep on duty and falsified records, were dismissed in 2021 after fulfilling terms of a non-criminal agreement with the DOJ.

Some supporters of former President Donald Trump have criticized his handling of the Epstein Files, indicating that he has been somewhat evasive regarding the truth of the situation.

In response to criticism, Trump defended Bondy in a lengthy statement posted on his platform. “They’re pushing what we can call Epstein’s hoax forever, and my previous supporters have fallen for it, hook, line, and sinker,” Trump remarked. “They haven’t learned their lessons, and they probably never will, even after I was out of office for eight years.”

In May, FBI Director Kash Patel expressed to Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy his belief that Epstein attempted to take his own life in a cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center. “Senators, we’re working on this to protect the victims without revealing unnecessary information,” Patel added, addressing concerns about delays in disclosing Epstein’s files.

Patel reiterated his views on Epstein’s suicide in a late May interview, stating, “He committed suicide,” and claimed familiarity with the complete file supporting that conclusion.

Despite his earlier guilty plea in 2008, Epstein maintained ties with various high-profile individuals, including celebrities, politicians, and business leaders. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates had numerous meetings with Epstein, alongside representatives from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

The DOJ had not provided any immediate responses to inquiries from the news outlet.
