Jeffrey Epstein's final moments revealed in 11-hour video showing what REALLY happened to the disgraced pedophile

The Justice Department released a nearly 11-hour surveillance video showing the corridor outside Jeffrey Epstein 's prison cell the night he died in an attempt to put an end to the conspiracies that have swirled around death for nearly six years.
Footage shows around 7:49 p.m. an orange jumpsuit-claden handcuffed man presumed to be Epstein being escorted to his cell by two guards the night of August 9, 2019.
But a thick wooden handrail of a common-area staircase obscures the face of the inmate being escorted.
The remainder of the several hours of video show activity in the area overnight, but no one walking back towards Epstein's cell, which is not on camera.
That is until around 6:27 a.m. when activity could be seen around the area leading to Epstein's cell as guards received and prepared breakfast carts for the inmates.
At 6:30 a.m., a very blurry image shows a guard running back into frame from where Epstein's cell was to what appears to be the guard station and then walking back.
A prior report from the Justice Department said that between August 9, 2019 at 10:40 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. on August 10, no one was seen entering Epstein's cell tier.
Release of the footage by the Justice Department was meant to prove that the disgraced financier and convicted child sex offender was not murdered despite a spate of online speculation that theorized Epstein did not kill himself.
In January 2020, prosecutors claimed that the surveillance video outside of Epstein's cell the night of his death was accidentally destroyed. They claim the jail mistakenly kept footage from the wrong cell and that due to 'technical errors' video from his tier was gone because it was not saved in the backup system.
This has only further fueled skepticism about his cause of death, especially now that video has been released.
An unsigned memo with DOJ and FBI seals was published by Axios on Sunday night.
It underscored that the agency, now under President Donald Trump's leadership, did not find any proof that Epstein had a client list of that he was murdered.
The DOJ said that while the door was not in frame of the CCTV footage, anyone moving to or from it would be captured.
The investigation, the memo states, concludes that Epstein was not murdered, he didn't blackmail powerful figures nor keep a so-called 'client list.'
Attorney General Pam Bondi said on a few occasions that she was in possession of a such a 'client list' of high-profile figures who engaged in nefarious and illicit activity with Epstein.
She said after reviewing the documents, she would publicize them at the behest of President Donald Trump.
Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell is already serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking.
The memo first published Sunday night by Axios says that no one involved in the case will be charged outside of Maxwell.
Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York City when guards went to bring him breakfast after 6:30 a.m. on August 10, 2019.
There was a bedsheet wrapped around Epstein's neck and he was in cardiac arrest. Prison guards initiated CPR.
At 6:33 a.m., guards activated an alarm and notified supervisors of the incident.
One said: 'Epstein hung himself.'
