“There’s video clear as day,” Bongino told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” early Thursday.
“He’s the only person in there and the only person coming out. You can see it.”
Bongino, a former conservative talk radio host, stressed the footage didn’t show “the actual act” but would prove there was no one around his cell before he was found dead at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center in 2019.
“There is video and when you look at the video, and we will release it, we’re working on cleaning it up to make sure you have an enhanced – and we will give the original so you don’t think there are any shenanigans – you will see no one in there but him. There’s just nobody there,” Bongino said.
“I say to people of the time — if you have a tip, let us know — but there is no DNA, there’s no audio, there’s no fingerprints, there’s no suspects, there’s no accomplices, there’s no tips. There is nothing. If you have it, I’m happy to see it.”
Epstein’s death was ruled a suicide at the time, but the pedophile financier’s abrupt demise has long been dogged by rampant theories.
Among them is that the billionaire, who was awaiting trial on child sex-trafficking charges, could have been killed by some of the rich and famous who engaged with him — or were privy to his crimes — over the years.
“I’m just telling you what we see in the file,” he said Thursday when asked about the case.
“I just want to be crystal clear on this. I am not asking anyone to believe me. I’m telling you what’s there and what isn’t.”
“There’s going to be a disclosure on this coming shortly,” he added as he teased the video.
Bongino’s revelation about the unseen footage comes after he faced backlash from MAGA fans when he and FBI Director Kash Patel emphatically declared earlier this month that notorious sex predator’s death was a suicide.
“I have reviewed the case. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. There’s no evidence in the case file indicating otherwise,” he wrote on X at the time.
Patel, too, made clear that he believed Epstein’s death was a suicide and nothing more.
“I have reviewed the case. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. There’s no evidence in the case file indicating otherwise,” he wrote on X at the time.
“As someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who’s been in that prison system, who’s been in the Metropolitan Detention Center, who’s been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when you see one, and that’s what that was,” he told Fox News in an earlier interview.
Epstein had bedsheets wrapped around his neck when he was found dead in his jail cell on Aug. 10, 2019 — just over a month after his arrest.
