DOJ Has a Copy of the Epstein Jail Video With the ‘Missing Minute’: Report

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-12-28 22:00:24

When the U.S. Department of Justice released a nearly 11-hour video in early July that purported to show the last time Jeffrey Epstein was seen alive, people couldn’t help but notice that there was a full minute missing. Attorney General Pam Bondi insisted there was a simple explanation: That’s just how the jail’s antiquated camera systems work. But a new report claims Bondi isn’t telling the truth.

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 Could Be the Best Laptop to Replace Your Desktop Yet

2025 The first thing you notice about the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 is the AniMe lights.

Techno-noir and cyberpunk have flourished in science fiction for decades, especially in movies. Films combining the dark vibes and jaded perspective of film noir, with futuristic dystopian settings that lean into a world where technology has blurred the lines between humanity and machines. In the 90s, The Matrix was a breakout hit for the genre, but there were also options that flew under the radar on release.

Josh Hawley Wants to Send Out Rebate Checks So Americans Can ‘Benefit’ From Trump’s Tariffs

President Trump’s tariffs have generated around 20 billion dollars in revenue for the U.S. government, although it’s worth noting that a vast majority of this wealth has been derived from import duties on American businesses. In other words, Americans are paying the federal government (many critics have noted that tariffs are just taxes by another name) for the pleasure of doing business with foreign exporters.

Echoing the slogan that exemplified his energy policies during the campaign, he made his message clear: more oil and gas, lower prices, greater exports. Six months into Trump’s second term, his administration has little to show on that score. Output is ticking up, but slower than it did under the Biden administration. Pump prices for gasoline have bobbed around where they were in inauguration week.
