Newly uncovered metadata reveals that nearly three minutes of footage were cut from what the US Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation described as “full raw” surveillance video from the only functioning camera near Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead. The video was released last week as part of the Trump administration’s commitment to fully investigate Epstein’s 2019 death but instead has raised new questions about how the footage was edited and assembled.

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. Now, further analysis shows that one of the source clips was approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds longer than the segment included in the final video, indicating that footage appears to have been trimmed before release. It’s unclear what, if anything, the minutes cut from the first clip showed.

NEW & NOTEWORTHY Erythritol, a common non-nutritive sweetener, is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. This study provides novel data, demonstrating that erythritol (at a concentration typically contained in a standard-size commercially available artificially sweetened beverage) adversely affects brain microvascular endothelial cell oxidative stress, eNOS activation and NO production, ET-1 expression, and t-PA release in vitro.

.......

Recently, Witkowski et al. (6) reported an association between circulating levels of erythritol and enhanced thrombotic potential and increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Utilizing targeted metabolomics analyses, elevated erythritol levels were positively associated with a 3-year incidence of non-fatal and fatal heart disease and stroke.
