At least one camera in the hallway outside the cell where authorities say registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself earlier this month had footage that is unusable, although other, clearer footage was captured in the area, according to three people briefed on the evidence gathered earlier this month.
It was not immediately clear why some video footage outside Epstein’s cell is too flawed for investigators to use or what is visible in the usable footage. The incident is being investigated by the FBI and the Justice Department’s inspector general’s office, which are attempting to determine what happened and how to assess whether any policies were violated or crimes committed.
The footage is considered critical to those inquiries, and the revelation of an unusable recording is yet another of the apparent failures inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center, the short-staffed Bureau of Prisons facility in downtown Manhattan that held Epstein.
It’s unclear whether the flaw in the taping affected a limited duration of the footage or whether it was a chronic problem in the beleaguered Manhattan facility.
A Bureau of Prisons spokesman declined to comment, as did spokespeople for the FBI, the Justice Department and the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan.
The people who spoke about the footage did so on the condition of anonymity, citing the ongoing probe.

Early reports of this were dismissed as internet conspiracy theories.
So, who murdered him and on who’s order?
Come the f*ck ON. HOW STUPID DO THEY THINK WE ARE?
Failures, my arse, the Clintoons hire only the best.
This thing has about as many “coincidences” as the JFK assassination.
Obviously, someone tampered with the video. Someone doesn’t want the truth to come out.
There have been a number of strange occurrences in this investigation. There have been failures in a number of areas relating to handling prisoners there.
They're hoping we're as stupid as the Washington Post.
Some footage unusable? Don’t tell me this was being recorded on video tape. All surveillance these days is done digitally which is recorded on hard drives. Another case of BleacBit?
It isn’t stupidity. It is the belief that a vast majority in this country won’t give a damn, and in that respect, they are correct.
They don’t think we are stupid - they just don’t care what we think. They don’t believe they have to answer to us.
That is the $64.00 question. My money is on the Clintons.
Is Bob Barr still “appalled”?
Which, up till now has proven true. Does the future hold different? I very seriously doubt it. Until recently. I was a big enough fool to believe that Hillary and her gang would at least face justice. But reality bit me on the ass. I now understand that the law is only to control the serfs.
the outrage displayed when that saudi reporter was murdered in turkey, when are we going to see some outrage in the media about Epstein’s murder.
You are right. And the msm is bought and owned by them.
Very few follow up stories THAT FAST on a story this big.
Trump is not a dictator that can purge the govt and msm and throw thousands in prison.
That’s a good thing I guess.
If we have to resort to that to save the country then it’s not worth saving.
I don’t know how he or we permanently change things.
But he’s doing a heck of a job of trying.
Why am I not surprised?
LOL... nooooooo??? Seriously?? You can’t make this stuff up. If you wrote a script with this stuff it would get rejected as being too obvious and amateurish.
