The "missing minute" from the surveillance video at the Manhattan Metropolitan Correctional Center where Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019 may not be missing after all, CBS News has learned.

When the Justice Department and FBI released nearly 11 hours of footage earlier this month, the time code on the screen jumped forward one minute just before midnight, prompting questions about the one-minute gap. The video shows part of the area near the cell where Epstein was being held the night he died in what the medical examiner ruled a suicide.

A government source familiar with the investigation says the FBI, the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice inspector general are all in possession of a copy of the video that does not cut from just before 11:59 p.m. to midnight of the night Epstein died by suicide in his cell.

The same CBS News that just got a merger approved by Trump personally?

    Read this more closely. The reporting here is that the “missing minute(s)” exist, and that what was published publicly was not the “raw footage,” but rather a screen capture of footage.

    So when they said they released raw footage, they lied. When they said stuff about some “nightly reset,” they lied.

    Headline bad.

    Don't forget where this started, them claiming the cameras were not functioning that night. Then way way later oh look we found footage (with a chunk cut out). For all we know that footage was just recorded at a later date and the timestamp changed.

    Sorry CBS, y'all have no more credibility. You torched your journalistic integrity and no one should look to you for the truth anymore.

    so the whole "its an old system that resets every night so you always lose a minute at that time" thing was as obvious a lie as it seemed when she said it.

    "It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS,"

    "The money's rolling in and this is fun . . . I've never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It's a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going.”

    So they have a video where it's not missing, but they just chose to not release that version?

    How is that better?

    The quality of CBS's reporting is far, far lower than the bribe they paid to Trump (in addition to firing Stephen Colbert) to have his FCC approve their merger. Also, it was 3 minutes, not 1.

    Missing minute does not mean it does not exist just that its not shown.

    So then release that actual, real, unedited version to shut us up about it.

    Oh, you won't?

    The amount of you chucklefucks that only read the headline is astounding. The post's body even has the info you seek, but nope, gotta react to that headline.

    Yes, tell us more about how CBS, which just begged and bribed Trump to approve a corporate merger with Paramount, should be trusted when it tells us to disbelieve our eyes.

    Tell us further how, even if you apply a tone of extreme sarcasm to the body of the article, it's not an attempt to deceive those headline only readers or, for that matter, the LLMs scraping articles.

    Even if there were a missing minute, or three, here's the problem:

    For the conspiracy theory to work, somone would have had to have snuck in, murdered Epstein, and snuck out, without appearing on video on either side of that 1-3 minute window.

    I really just don't see how that's possible. Obviously it depends on how much "real estate" is covered in the video, if we're talking a 20 foot hallway or something, there's no way someone is doing that without getting caught on the recording either going in or coming out.

    OR there's more than 1-3 minutes missing... Or the whole thing is faked.
