Video From Outside Epstein’s Cell Found Unusable

The Washington Post reports:

At least one camera in the hallway outside the cell where authorities say registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself earlier this month had footage that is unusable, although other, clearer footage was captured in the area, according to three people briefed on the evidence gathered earlier this month.

It was not immediately clear why some video footage outside Epstein’s cell is too flawed for investigators to use or what is visible in the usable footage.

The incident is being investigated by the FBI and the Justice Department’s inspector general’s office, which are attempting to determine what happened and how to assess whether any policies were violated or crimes committed.

Who could possibly have imagined that the footage from one of the cameras outside Epstein’s cell when he “committed suicide” would turn out to be unusable. https://t.co/RpdmQ5VBRt
