"Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admitted that the Trump administration would miss Friday's deadline to release the all of the files required by the new law, telling Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones that the DOJ would release several hundred thousand documents today and would then release more documents over the next couple of weeks. After vociferous criticism from Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), who co-sponsored the bill to release th Epstein Files, other lawmakers, and the victims, the DOJ released additional files."
"Among the new files was what appeared to be a surveillance video from inside Epstein's prison cell, showing a man in an orange prison jumpsuit with something tied to the bed behind him and then around his neck. TMZ was among several that shared the clip, labeling it as a video from DOJ that appears to show Jeffrey Epstein attempting suicide."

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admitted the DOJ would miss the law's deadline and said several hundred thousand documents would be released and more would follow over the next weeks. After criticism from Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna and victims, additional files were released. Among those files was a short clip appearing to show Epstein attempting suicide, which proved to be a fake CGI recreation that had circulated online and that fooled outlets such as TMZ.
