NEW YORK POST: ‘Missing’ footage of Epstein’s first suicide attempt found…
QUOTE: “Earlier today, the Government confirmed with [Metropolitan Correctional Center] staff that the Video was preserved by MCC staff,” Assistant US Attorneys Jason Swergold and Maurene Comey told federal judge Kenneth Karas in a court filing.
The revelation comes a day after Swergold stood up in court and claimed that the footage hadn’t been retained by the facility, despite a request from a lawyer for Epstein’s former cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione.
Tartaglione, who is awaiting trial for quadruple homicide, was sharing a cell with the now-dead pedophile on July 23 when he first tried to take his own life.
Tartaglione has told The Post via letter that he immediately called for help, and his attorney Bruce Barket says his client has been cleared of any wrongdoing in the incident.
Epstein was found hanged in his cell in August…..

“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….

CNBC: ‘Missing’ jail video from first Jeffrey Epstein suicide attempt has been found, prosecutors tell judge
KEY POINTS:
Federal prosecutors have located surveillance video showing the area around the cell of accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein on the day of his first suicide attempt in the Metropolitan Correctional Center jail in Manhattan.
The video, which prosecutors previously said was missing, was being sought by lawyers for Nicholas Tartaglione, a former police officer accused of four murders, who claims he save Epstein’s life in July.
Epstein, a former friend of Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, died from what has been ruled suicide by hanging in August.
Federal prosecutors have found surveillance video of the area around the cell of accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein on the day of his first jailhouse suicide attempt, according to a new court filing. Earlier this week, they said the footage was missing.
The video, which prosecutors said was actually preserved by jail staff as previously requested, was being sought by lawyers for Epstein’s former cellmate at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.
That cellmate, former Westchester County, New York, police officer Nicholas Tartaglione, claims he helped save the life of the wealthy investor Epstein during his suicide bid at the federal jail on July 23.
Epstein, 66, died weeks later in from what authorities have ruled was a suicide by hanging in that jail, where the former friend of Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton was awaiting trial on charges related to his alleged sexual abuse of dozens of underage girls from 2002 through 2005.
His death, which remains under investigation, sparked conspiracy theories that he actually was murdered because of his ties to wealthy and powerful people, some of whom have been accused of having sex with Epstein’s victims….. .
