DOJ releases shocking fake video of Jeffrey Epstein suicide as part of file dump

The DOJ on Monday released shocking footage that appeared to be a recreation of Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide in his Manhattan jail cell — and it briefly set the Internet on fire until it was revealed to be fake.

The video was posted without explanation to the Justice Department’s website as part of its Epstein file dump — with the footage just the latest item among a trove of documents and images to be revealed after the complete horde was ordered released in November.

The grainy, 12-second, computer-generated clip showed a white-haired man in an orange jumpsuit struggling and jerking his head about while kneeling at the base of a jail-cell bunk bed.

The time stamp on the video was 4:29 a.m. Aug. 10, 2019 — two hours before the pedophile’s body was found in his cell that day at the Metropolitan Correctional Facility.

The scene in the video seemed to match Epstein’s cell, where officials determined he hung himself while awaiting trial for a litany of sex-trafficking charges.

But a closer examination of the clip showed things were not quite right – with a pile of orange prison clothes strewn about the ground looking like puddles without any texture, and the door to the jail cell not matching the one in Epstein’s behind-bars compartment.

It soon was revealed in another dumped document that the clip was in fact a fake video that circulated on 4chan and was flagged by investigators by a Florida conspiracy theorist.

A Trump administration official later confirmed to The Post that the video was bogus and has been on YouTube for years. It was eventually taken down from the DOJ’s site Monday.

But its appearance had already caused a flurry of interest online, with many viewers thinking footage of Epstein’s death had finally been revealed.

Epstein seen kissing, cuddling little girls in stomach-turning new photos released by DOJ

The latest tranche of photos from the Jeffrey Epstein files released by the Justice Department includes disturbing pictures that appear to show the dead pedophile kissing and cozying up to little girls.

One image, displayed on a wall, shows a naked infant in a bath.

The vile, never-before-seen snapshots were framed and displayed on an intricately carved wooden bookshelf at his sprawling estate on Little St. James Island in the US Virgin Islands.

The unnamed kids appear to be much younger than the teenagers whom Epstein copped to paying for sex as part of his sweetheart deal with federal prosecutors in 2008.

The new photos come as one whistleblower was vindicated by the document dump after she said she warned the FBI in 1996 about Epstein’s sickening interest in child pornography.

It’s not clear who the children are, or if any of them are Epstein’s victims.

In the new photos, the disgraced financier is seen draped in a robe, looking content with his eyes closed as he cradles what appears to be a very young blond girl in his arms.

Another shows him smiling widely while seated in a plush seat on a private jet with his arm wrapped around a young girl wearing a powder blue sweatshirt.

Epstein looks directly at the camera as he kisses a redheaded girl wearing what appears to be pigtails in a third chilling photo.

FBI was warned that Jeffrey Epstein was into child porn — but ignored it for 10 years, docs show

A former employee of late sex predator Jeffrey Epstein alerted the FBI that he was interested in “child pornography” and that he threatened to “burn her house down” decades before Epstein became an international fixation — but feds apparently did nothing.

Maria Farmer, whom Epstein hired to help purchase art, filed a complaint against him on Sept. 3, 1996, but it took nearly 10 years more before the notorious sex abuser began to face significant legal scrutiny.

“I’ve waited 30 years,” Farmer told The New York Times when asked about a recently released report showing her complaint, describing herself as “vindicated.” “I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.”

“They should be ashamed,” she continued. “…They harmed all of these little girls. That part devastates me.”

Farmer has publicly claimed for years that she tried to inform the authorities about Epstein and his madam, Ghislaine Maxwell’s, predatory behavior.

Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna Announce Plans to Bring Inherent Contempt Charges Against Attorney General Pam Bondi Over Epstein Files – “We’re Building a Bipartisan Coalition”

During a joint Sunday appearance on Face the Nation, Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), the authors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Trump last month, announced their intention to bring charges for inherent contempt against Attorney General Pam Bondi. 

Under the rarely used congressional power, “the House or Senate has its Sergeant-At-Arms, or deputy, take a person into custody for proceedings to be held in Congress,” according to the National Constitution Center. However, it is unclear how effective this would be in the face of legal challenges and the executive branch’s power.

This is the latest in an escalating saga of threats, with Massie and Khanna claiming the DOJ has not complied fully with the law due to redactions in the files and not releasing every document available.

Khanna told CNN on Friday that he and Massie are currently drafting articles of impeachment or inherent contempt against Attorney General Pam Bondi, The Gateway Pundit reported.

“Massey and I aren’t going to just do something for the show of it, but my sense is, just looking at the initial reactions from people in MAGA, from survivors, is that this release is going to cause as much grief for Pam Bondi as the earlier releases,” Khanna told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins in reference to Bondi’s dumpsterfire release with MAGA influencers earlier this year. “The issue for her is not are there going to be 212 Democrats who would support it. The issue for her is how many Republicans and MAGA supporters would support it?”

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press this morning, where he dared Massie and Khanna to “bring it on,” maintaining that the DOJ is simply following the law and taking the necessary time to make redactions before releasing all of the files.

Blanche told NBC’s Kristen Welker that ensuring victim information is redacted “very much Trumps some deadline in the statute,” and he dared Khanna and Massie to file Articles of Impeachment. “We are complying with the statute, we will continue to comply with the statute, and if by complying with the statute, we don’t produce everything on Friday, we produce things next week, and the week after, that’s still compliance with the statute,” Blanche added.

Art dealer who told FBI about Epstein’s child porn affinity in 1996 says he threatened to BURN her house down

An art dealer who sounded the alarm on Jeffrey Epstein‘s sickening affinity for child pornography a decade before the FBI investigated the disgraced financier said he scared her into silence by threatening to set her home ablaze. 

Maria Farmer, who Epstein once hired to help him buy artwork, has long asserted that she filed a complaint against the sex offender in September 1996. 

On Friday, the FBI finally released a copy of the document – solidifying what Farmer has been arguing for years. 

‘I’ve waited 30 years,’ Farmer told The New York Times. ‘I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.’

But she said it does not negate the fact that investigators ‘harmed all of these little girls’ by not taking her concerns seriously. 

In the released complaint, which has Farmer’s name redacted, authorities wrote that she had taken photos of her 12 and 16-year-old sisters for her personal portfolio that Epstein stole. 

Farmer, who was 25 at the time, claimed that Epstein ‘sold the pictures to potential buyers’ and told her ‘that if she tells anyone about the photos, he will burn her house down,’ as per the document. 

The now 56-year-old visual artist clarified in an interview that the photos Epstein stole included nude images, according to the NY Times.

At least 16 files disappear from DOJ site for Epstein documents, including Trump photo

At least 16 files disappeared from the Justice Department’s public webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein — including a photograph showing President Donald Trump — less than a day after they were posted, with no explanation from the government and no notice to the public.

The missing files, which were available Friday and no longer accessible by Saturday, included images of paintings depicting nude women, and one showing a series of photographs along a credenza and in drawers. In that image, inside a drawer among other photos, was a photograph of Trump, alongside Epstein, Melania Trump and Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

The Justice Department did not say why the files were removed or whether their disappearance was intentional. A spokesperson for the department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Online, the unexplained missing files fueled speculation about what was taken down and why the public was not notified, compounding long-standing intrigue about Epstein and the powerful figures who surrounded him. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee pointed to the missing image featuring a Trump photo in a post on X, writing: “What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.”

Ro Khanna Says He and Thomas Massie May Bring Articles of Impeachment Against Bondi Over Epstein Release

Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna (CA) on Friday said in a CNN appearance that he and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) are currently drafting articles of impeachment against Attorney General Pam Bondi and weighing the pragmatism behind proceeding with the move. 

Last month, President Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law to release all files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

And the Department of Justice released documents on Friday, which showed a heavy Bill Clinton presence around the late pedophile and young women.

But Massie and Khanna said it wasn’t enough.

Ro Khanna released a video statement on Friday, highlighting redactions in the files and saying the document dump “does not comply with Thomas Massie and my Epstein Transparency Act.” He then floated the impeachment of people at the DOJ.

MORE Epstein files are released as sickening details emerge from victims’ testimony in pedophile’s grand jury records

The Department of Justice has released two more batches of the Epstein files, including grand jury transcripts from cases against Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.

In one document from a grand jury hearing ahead of Epstein’s 2019 trial, which never occurred because he died in jail, there were horrific details about what young girls were asked to do.

Included in data set 6, the first batch of documents released by the DOJ on Saturday, an FBI agent testified that a 14-year-old girl went to his home in Palm Beach, Florida, to massage him in her underwear. The girl was paid $300 per session, according to the agent’s testimony.

The girl told the agent about how the massage room had lotions and moisturizers. She also detailed how the walls were covered in sketches or paintings of naked females.

A library in the home was straight out of Beauty and the Beast, according to the hearing’s transcript.

The latest disclosure comes after a judge ruled on December 9 that the DOJ was legally allowed to release grand jury materials from Maxwell’s sex trafficking investigation.

Because grand jury proceedings are secret by their very nature, it was unclear whether the DOJ would be able to release these documents as part of the Epstein Files Transparency Act that was signed by President Donald Trump last month.

US District Judge Paul Engelmayer said the grand jury materials had to be released because of that law, but he said mechanisms needed to be put in place to protect victims from disclosures that could ‘identify them or otherwise invade their privacy’.

Who is named in the Epstein files? List of famous people exposed in bombshell release

The Justice Department has finally begun releasing the long‑awaited trove of Jeffrey Epstein files — and the initial batch of never‑before‑seen photos and documents includes a jaw‑dropping lineup of high‑profile figures who had contacts with the notorious financier and child rapist.

While the images are explosive, the DOJ has said that being photographed with Epstein doesn’t equate to criminal guilt, and many of the appearances in past photos released — including those by President Trump — are social or casual in nature.

Bill Clinton’s Spox Responds to Bombshell Photos of Former President in Hot Tub with Epstein Sex-Trafficking Victim

Bill Clinton’s spokesman responded to the latest Epstein document dump showing Bill Clinton in a hot tub with a mystery woman who is likely a sex-trafficking victim.

The Justice Department on Friday released a new batch of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex-trafficking cases.

The trove of documents was released after a federal judge in New York recently ordered the release of Jeffrey Epstein documents related to a 2019 sex trafficking case.

Last month, President Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law to release all files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

The documents were released on the DOJ’s website in the “Epstein Library.”

The new trove of documents includes never-before-seen photos of Bill Clinton in a hot tub, swimming with a mystery woman.

The individual’s face was redacted which means she is either a sex-trafficking victim and or a minor.
