Dan Bongino said all evidence he had reviewed indicates the disgraced prolific sex offender killed himself in jail.
He added that he hoped the video would put swirling rumours of foul play to bed.
On August 10, 2019, the financier and socialite was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center with bedsheets wrapped around his neck
It came as he awaited trial on sex-trafficking charges, sparking a huge public backlash and multiple conspiracy theories.
The video will reportedly show Epstein in his cell alone. The actual act of suicide will not be shown.
“There’s video clear as day," Mr Bongino told Fox News.
“He’s the only person in there and the only person coming out. You can see it.”
He added that the FBI is reviewing the video, set to be released to the public soon.
“We are working on cleaning it up to make sure you have an enhanced [version] and we’re going to give the original so you don’t think there were any shenanigans," he added.
His former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, was prosecuted for recruiting victims and was sentenced to 20-years in prison.
New York City's chief medical examiner officially ruled that Epstein died by hanging in an act of suicide.
The ruling was based on the report on an autopsy and a review of the evidence available. It was supported by and the FBI, as well as the US justice department during Donald Trump's first presidential term.
In February, Anna Paulina Luna, a member of Congress appointed by Trump, announced that Epstein's 'clients' will be declassified.
Luna said, according to The Times, that the federal government "has been hiding information for decades" and "it is time to give Americans the answers they deserve".
It isn't clear if Epstein's client list will be from his 'black book' - copies of which have been made public in multiple court hearings.
The book, which contained names and addresses of people associated with Epstein, included Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, former US President Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump.
There is no suggestion of misconduct by them.
