Attorney General Pam Bondi has addressed the controversy surrounding the missing minute of surveillance footage from Jeffrey Epstein's jail cell on the night of his death. Bondi explained that the absence of the footage is a routine occurrence caused by a standard nightly system reset of the prison's video surveillance system, which dates back to around 1999. According to Bondi, the video is reset every night, resulting in the same minute being missing from the footage each time. She emphasized that this missing minute is normal procedure and that the video surveillance system is old. Bondi also stated that the video was not conclusive in determining Epstein's death as a suicide, but evidence prior to the footage was conclusive. Her explanation aims to clarify why the minute was missing and to address public concerns about the integrity of the surveillance recordings.
