Top 5 revelations from Epstein files: From footage of area outside NY prison cell, to audio files testifying ‘criminal conduct’

Following a two-hour long meeting with six of the many survivors of abuse by Epstein and Maxwell, House Speaker Johnson, “The objective here is not just to uncover, investigate the Epstein evils, but also to ensure that this never happens again and ultimately to find out why justice has been delayed for these ladies for so very long.”

Here are the top revelations from Epstein Files:

1. 01

   Footage of Epstein’s New York jail cell on the night of his death

   One of the crucial revelations from Epstein Files includes the footage of the area outside the sex offender's New York prison cell on the night he died while awaiting sex trafficking charges, BBC News highlighted.

   The video includes 13 hours and 41 seconds of recording from the facility which covers August 9 evening to August 10 morning of 2019.

   This is two hours more than what the Justice Department released two months ago. CBS points out that this version of the footage does not include the so-called "missing minute" - a minute jump in the timecode between 23:00 and 00:00. However, Attorney General Pam Bondi has said the "missing minute" was just the jail's camera system resetting each night.

   As per the BBC, given the absence of any description, and with little to no action in the video, it is difficult for reviewers to ascertain if the footage is actually from his cell.

   Videos of law enforcement interview with Epstein's victims

   The tranche of documents released by the committee show several videos and summaries of law enforcement interviews with people who claim they were victims of Jeffrey Epstein.

   The videos contain obscured faces of those victims. Their names have also been removed from the audio, as they talked about alleged sexual abuse when they were hired for massages.

   Body cam footage of police at Epstein's home in Florida & image files

   The folders released on Tuesday contain video files that appear to be body cam footage from Palm Beach County Police officers as they search a home belonging to Epstein in Florida.

   Other folders also contain hundreds of image files of years-old court filings related to Epstein and Maxwell.

   Audio files related to 'criminal conduct with respect to women'

   The files contain an audio of an employee of Epstein detailing to a law enforcement official how “there were a lot of girls that were very, very young” visiting the home but couldn’t say with conformity if they were minors.

   These audio files too relate to Epstein's "criminal conduct with respect to women".

   Over the course of Epstein’s visits to the home, the man said, more than a dozen girls might visit, and he was charged with cleaning the room where Epstein had massages, twice daily, news agency AP reported, adding that some pages are almost entirely redacted.

   Documents related to Epstein's prosecution

   Other documents related to Epstein’s Florida prosecution that led to a plea deal long-criticized as "too lenient," including "emails between the defense and prosecutors over conditions of his probation after his conviction," AP reported.

   Barbara Burns, a Palm Beach County prosecutor, expressed frustration as the defense pushed for fewer restrictions on their client: “I don’t know how to convey to him anymore than I already have that his client is a registered sex offender that was fortunate to get the deal of the century.”

   Some of the interviews with officers from the Palm Beach Police Department date to 2005, AP report noted, citing timestamps read out by officials at the beginning of the files.
