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.

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

And that fresh new video generator by Google is scary good

The video features a second person labeled Epstein with a sharpie hanging Epstein.

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?
