FBI finally releases CCTV footage from Jeffrey Epstein's prison cell to confirm cause of death

They've released over 10 hours of footage

The FBI has released CCTV footage showing the door of Jeffrey Epstein's prison cell on the day he died, and their investigation has concluded that the convicted sex offender did not keep a 'client list'.

Epstein, who was accused of sex trafficking young girls, was found hanged in his cell while in custody on 10 August, 2019.

His death prompted a slew of conspiracy theories over whether or not it was a suicide, which was the official version of events, or whether he had been killed to prevent him from giving evidence that might incriminate other famous figures.

Conspiracy theorists said that Epstein had a list of clients who he blackmailed for influence and that this secret cabal of celebrities and government figures had the convicted sex offender killed and staged it to look like a suicide.

Earlier this year, the FBI said they had proof that Epstein's death was a suicide and they had a video to prove it, which they have now released.

The footage is over 10 hours of CCTV of the view in front of Epstein's cell door.

The door itself is not visible, but AXIOS reports that the FBI and the US Justice Department say it proves that nobody murdered Epstein as the camera would have seen anyone going to the door and entering the cell.

They also report that they have seen a memo which says the FBI has no evidence that Epstein kept a 'client list', which knocks down one of the main conspiracy theories surrounding the convicted sex offender's death and activities.

Ahead of the footage being released FBI Director Kash Patel had said that it 'takes time to go through years of investigations' and the CCTV footage proves that nobody but Epstein entered his cell.

Deputy director Dan Bongino said he'd 'seen the whole file' and was certain that Epstein killed himself while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges.

The CCTV footage shows the night of 9 August and the early hours of 10 August, with Epstein being walked to his cell by prison guards at 7:49pm on 9 August, with the remainder of the hours of video appearing to show nobody else crossing the space in front of the convicted sex offender's cell door.

US President Donald Trump claimed his administration would release the Epstein files to the public, with the first batch being released earlier this year.

During a recent spat, Elon Musk claimed that Donald Trump was in the Epstein files and alleging that was 'the real reason they have not been made public'.

Musk then told people 'the truth will come out' before deleting the post and saying he went 'too far' with some of his posts.
