Prince Andrew's friend Jeffrey Epstein suicide in jail? New video released

Prince Andrew, who faced intense scrutiny over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, has received shocking update on Jeffrey Epstein.

The Duke, who allegedly maintained contact with the convicted sex offender, is currently spending time away from London with his family at Balmoral.

House committee released video filling contested one-minute gap in earlier surveillance from Epstein’s jail unit on the night of his 2019 suicide.

Epstein was found in his jail after a suicide attempt and later pronounced dead.  

Two key clips, part of a nearly 34,000-file drop by the House Oversight Committee Tuesday night, revealed the highly contested minute missing from surveillance footage filmed outside Epstein’s cell block in the Metropolitan Correctional Center.

The disputed minute lasted from 11:58:59 on August 9, 2019, to midnight on Aug. 10, 2019.

Digital forensics experts previously found the clip released by the Department of Justice was chopped from at least two separate video segments and strung together using Adobe Premiere Pro, fueling conspiracy theories that the administration was covering up Epstein's death.

The new drop from the House committee shows the camera data switched at about midnight, leading to a necessary binding of the two clips for a consecutive video.

It is worth mentioning here that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were both indicted on federal sex trafficking charges stemming from Epstein's years of abuse of underage girls. 

It is unclear why the footage disappeared, though the minute that was missing from the original drop did not reveal any action inside the jail block.

The DOJ found Epstein committed suicide inside his New York City jail cell while awaiting further sex trafficking charges.

The attorney general's office could not immediately be reached by Fox News Digital for comment.
