They have to catalog anything they receive including obviously fake information sent to them by crazy people (see email that had the video attached: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%208/EFTA00029922.pdf https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%208/EFTA000299... ). Then someone sees the fake video that looks completely different from Epstein's actual cell on a .gov website, goes "woah guys did they just release video of Epstein killing himself?????" and everybody freaks out.
