CCTV footage of Jeffrey Epstein which "confirms" he killed himself is set to be released by the FBI.
The Bureau's leaders will soon unveil surveillance video from a federal jail in New York City showing no one entered his cell at the time of his death.
Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino has said the video clearly showed Epstein was "the only person in there and the only person coming out", speaking to Fox News.
Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel also confirmed in a separate interview the day before that the paedophile financier had died by suicide.

But the pair had in the past put their weight behind theories about Epstein's death before taking up their current roles.
According to the Washington Post, Bongino repeatedly suggested Epstein was murdered on his podcast, playing clips where journalists claimed they were "100 per cent" convinced he was killed "because he made his whole living blackmailing people".
In a January 2024 podcast, Bongino told listeners these claims were "super important" and criticised media coverage of the case - and just weeks before his appointment, he promised he would never "let this story go".

But now, he has claimed there was no forensic evidence suggesting another individual was present during Epstein's death.
"There's 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," he said, asking members of the public to share any evidence of wrongdoing.
"There's video clear as day," Bongino added. "He's the only person in there and the only person coming out. You can see it."
Patel also promised to release additional information about the case, but counselled: "It takes time to go through years of investigations."

Both officials are now investigating several Biden-era cases, including pipe bombs placed outside Republican and Democratic headquarters before the January 6 chaos and cocaine found in the White House in 2023.
Bongino announced on Thursday that the FBI is close to solving one of cases, and teased that the Bureau had received a "fascinating tip".
However, Trump supporters have publicly asked why Patel and Bongino aren't arresting the people Patel previously labelled "government gangsters".
Before his appointment, Bongino had said: "I believe the FBI knows the identity of this pipe bomber."
