Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced on Thursday that the FBI is planning to release a video that will allegedly confirm that wealthy sex offender Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in his jail cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Earlier this month, Bongino claimed that after reviewing Epstein’s file, it was clear that the deceased sex offender “killed himself.”
During a Thursday appearance on “Fox & Friends,” Bongino said, “I’m just telling you what we see in the file. I just want to be crystal clear on this. I am not asking anyone to believe me. I’m telling you what’s there and what isn’t.”
Bongino confirmed that there was video evidence pointing to Epstein’s death by suicide, saying, “There’s going to be a disclosure on this coming shortly.”
Asked by “Fox & Friends” co-host Lawrence Jones if there was a video of Epstein killing himself,” Bongino said, “No, no, not the actual act, but the entire MCC [Metropolitan Correctional Center] bay. It was only one camera. There’s video that, when you look at the video — and we will release, that’s what’s taken a while on this.”

Bongino told Fox News that the FBI is working to provide an “enhanced” video regarding the Epstein case; however, he added that the agency is also planning on releasing the “original” video so that people do not think “there were any shenanigans” with regard to video editing.
“You will see no one in there but him. There’s just nobody there,” Bongino said. “So I say to people all the time — if you have a tip, let us know — but there’s no DNA, there’s no audio, there’s no fingerprints, there’s no suspects, there’s no accomplices, there’s no tips. There is nothing. If you have it, I’m happy to see it.”
“There’s video clear as day,” the FBI deputy director added. “He’s the only person in there and the only person coming out. You can see it.”
Last month, FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed Epstein’s death as a “suicide” and dismissed other theories regarding the infamous sex offender’s death. However, despite the FBI director’s insistence that Epstein died by suicide and was not murdered, the sex offender’s brother, Mark Epstein, has continued to argue that “there’s a long list of things that point away” from Jeffrey Epstein’s death being a suicide.
