FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said on Fox News Thursday morning that he is certain Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, died by suicide while in federal custody — and there is video that supports it.

“There is nothing in the file at this point on the Epstein case — and there is going to be a disclosure on this coming shortly… there is video. That is something the public does not know,” Bongino said in an interview on Fox & Friends.

Bongino clarified that the video in question does not show the “actual act” but proves that Epstein was the only person who came in or out of his cell on the night he died, on August 10, 2019.

    Who cares about the video, release the investigation and names of people involve.

    A high profile running a rape operation on US soils and they are scared to share info about it.

    They just needed ‘deepfake’ tech to become more advanced, otherwise they would have released it earlier. /s

    Do they have proof that guards who were suppose to be watching him have a good excuse for allowing it to have happened?

    I’ve seen the video! It’s proof! They even got his prison MS13 hand tat, you can see all the letters of “MISS13” in Calibri font clearly on his six fingers.

    Even if he did he was persuaded to do by threat of torture. Quit lying to us and release his client list

    Glad to see Lemmings continue the tradition of Reddit and don’t read the article, just the headline.

    Lots of advertising for LLM video generation that has nothing to do with the 8 hour empty hallway video they claim to have.

      And just like Reddit, no need to read the article when I can expect to find expert commentary and a succinct TL;DR in the comments.

      Very convenient he dies in the end of Trump presidency 1, followed by four years of nothing, Trump gets reelected and suddenly there’s evidence he killed himself.

    I don’t wanna be that guy but it’s funny to me that this is suddenly true after many statements that there is no video and after GenAI/deepfake has hit the mainstream.

      I don’t want to be that guy either but it’s also after the guy with known ties to Epstein is the President again and appointed his zealot to run the FBI.

      All of it is probably coincidence and/or incompetence but god damn are they making it look like a coverup.

        Funny thing is though he used to say he didn’t kill himself and started to have his supporters get mad about his change of tune

      Deepfakes can still be recognized as doctored.

      They’re saying there’s video showing that no one else could have been in there at the time. There’s still no vid of Epstein’s cell room.

      So all they’d have to do with that is change the time and date for the video time stamp and then show us films of empty hallways?
