The Trump administration has been under scrutiny since July 7, when the FBI released a memo stating it would no longer provide additional documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender and former financier who died in federal custody in 2019. Later that month and in the middle of questioning from the MAGA base, the bureau made public two surveillance videos showing Epstein's final hours inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan before his death, which was officially ruled a suicide.
However, different investigations have raised further questions about the issue. Wired reported that the footage is missing a minute and has been edited. Moreover, another CBS News investigation into the footage showed further discrepancies.
