‘Full Raw’ Epstein Clip Released by Trump’s DOJ Was Likely Edited
A report has undercut the Department of Justice’s assertion that a video it released this week of Jeffrey Epstein’s final hours alive in prison is “full raw” and unedited.
An analysis by Wired determined that the hours-long footage, released by the DOJ to quell conspiracies involving Epstein’s 2019 in-custody suicide, was “likely modified” using the professional video editing software Adobe Premiere Pro.
“The file appears to have been assembled from at least two source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then uploaded to the DOJ’s website,” the magazine wrote.
That conclusion was reached by video forensics experts who studied the footage’s metadata. Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley whose research focuses on digital forensics and misinformation, told Wired that the footage would not be considered valid evidence in court.
“If a lawyer brought me this file and asked if it was suitable for court, I’d say no. Go back to the source. Do it right,” he said. “Do a direct export from the original system—no monkey business.”
Faird said his issues with the clip go beyond its metadata, however. He claims its aspect ratio shifts “noticeably” at multiple points.
“Why am I suddenly seeing a different aspect ratio?” he remarked to Wired.
