Lost Jeffrey Epstein suicide attempt video is found: Prosecutors
Just days after confirming they were unable to locate surveillance video captured outside Jeffrey Epstein’s jail cell on the night of his first suicide attempt, prosecutors told a federal judge the video was saved, documents show.
"We are very pleased the video was preserved, as we had asked," Bruce Barket, the attorney for Epstein's former cellmate, said early Friday morning. "We look forward to viewing it. "
The video shows the exterior of the Metropolitan Correctional Center, or MCC, jail cell that Epstein shared with Nicholas Tartaglione, a former police officer who will soon face trial for in a quadruple slaying.

Barket had requested the footage two days after the financier's July 23 suicide attempt, but told FOX Business on Thursday: “It’s gone.”
In a letter later that day, Assistant U.S. Attorneys Maurene Comey and Jason Swergold told District Judge Kenneth M. Karas that the July 22 to July 23 footage had been tracked down.
“Earlier today, the government confirmed with MCC staff that the video was preserved by MCC staff upon defense counsel’s request in July 2019, and the government is in the process of obtaining a copy of the video,” the prosecutors wrote in the one-page document.
The topic of the missing recording arose during a Wednesday status conference at a federal court in White Plains, New York.
