Attorney General Palm Bondi was questioned with President Trump during the July 8 cabinet meeting. He said that the missing minute was the result of one night reset of the video, due to which the recording system remembered a recording minute every night, and blamed that information to the Bureau of Prins.
“There was a minute that was away from that counter and what we have learned [the] The prisons bureau every year, every night, they used to do that video again, “Bandy said. The equipment was old -” like 1999, so there is a reset every night, so there should be the same missing minutes every night, “he said.
Bondi said that the department will share other videos that show that the video system is reset every night. However, the video has not been released yet.
Experts of monitoring video, including video forensic professionals, told CBS News that one night reset would be unusual and there was nothing that they faced in most video systems.
One thing that is clear, forensic experts say that the version of the recording issued by the FBI was edited and not raw, as the government said. Bondi, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and others have publicly stated that the video will be released untouched.
When Doj and FBI shared the video with the public, they said that News release It was a “full raw” video, and that “Anyone tried to enter or try to enter the tier, where Epstein’s cell shoe was located from the common region, this would have been occupied by this footage.”
Jim Stafford was one of the several video forensic analysts, who watched the video for CBS News, which was known as metadata using special software to remove underlying coding. He said that Matadata has shown that the file was first made on 23 May this year and it was probably “screen capture, not actual export” of the raw file.
He also told CBS News that Matadata showed that the video was actually two separate videos together. It was also raised slightly up, so the 11 -hour covering video runs in a length of about 10 hours and 53 minutes.
The CBS asked the FBI and the Department of Justice for a response, but refused to comment. The bureau of jails stated that they had “no additional information to provide”.
