US attorneys say the jail mistakenly saved footage from the wrong cell.
Epstein, a convicted sex offender, hanged himself in jail in August while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.
He had pleaded not guilty to sexually abusing dozens of girls, some as young as 14.
The issue over this footage comes from the case of Nicholas Tartaglione, a former New York police officer who shared a cell with Epstein in July.
Epstein was found semi-conscious in his prison cell with injuries to his neck on 25 July. After this incident, he was placed on suicide watch.
Eventually, Epstein was moved to a different cell, where he died on 10 August. Two prison guards have since been accused of failing to check on Epstein during this time and falsifying records to say that they had.
There have been ongoing questions over the July recording, which was initially deemed missing and then was said to have been located by jail staff.

The House needs to investigate this entire matter.

(269,022 posts)It was just too neat - after all this time he's suddenly in the jail and then KABOOM - death by suicide and all the cameras disappear.
This was always highly suspicious.
