The footage was released alongside a two-page memo from the department that said after a "thorough investigation," FBI investigators concluded that the wealthy financier and convicted sex offender, who was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, died by suicide in his jail cell.

The U.S. Department of Justice has released video from the jail in New York where Jeffrey Epstein was held, recorded the day he died in 2019. The release is part of a campaign by the Trump regime to convince skeptical Americans that the child sex offender really did kill himself.
