NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

The nearly three-minute discrepancy may be related to the widely reported one-minute gap—between 11:58:58 pm and 12:00:00 am—that attorney general Pam Bondi has attributed to a nightly system reset. Read more: www.wired.com/story/the-fb...
This comes after WIRED previously reported that the video had been stitched together in Adobe Premiere Pro from two video files, contradicting the Justice Department’s claim that it was “raw” footage. It’s unclear what, if anything, the minutes cut from the first clip showed.
WIRED sent a detailed request for comment to the Department of Justice at 7:40 am on Tuesday. Just two minutes later, Natalie Baldassarre, a public affairs officer for the DOJ, replied tersely: “Refer you to the FBI.” The FBI declined WIRED’s request for comment. www.wired.com/story/the-fb...
WIRED reviewed its findings with two independent video forensics experts who confirmed that the edit occurred just before the missing minute mark and that approximately three minutes of footage were cut from the original clip. From @dmehro.bsky.social:

So. The DOJ is just winging it. And no-one is doing anything? @meidastouch.com @thebulwark.com @petebuttigieg.bsky.social
