Surveillance video from Jeffrey Epstein's first apparent suicide attempt 'no longer exists'
Officials at the federal jail housing Epstein preserved video from the wrong floor because of a clerical error, prosecutors said.
The surveillance video taken from outside Jeffrey Epstein's jail cell on the day of his first apparent suicide attempt has been permanently deleted, federal prosecutors said Thursday.
Epstein, the disgraced financier who was facing federal sex-trafficking charges, was found semiconscious in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, or MCC, in New York around 1:27 a.m. on July 23.
But that video is now gone because MCC officials mistakenly saved video from a different floor of the federal detention facility, prosecutors said in a court filing.
The MCC "inadvertently preserved video from the wrong tier within the MCC and as a result, video from outside the defendant's cell on July 22-23, 2019 no longer exists," the court papers say.

At this point it is almost irrelevant whether these people are lying or mind blowingly incompetent. #Trumpslide2020
