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.”
wired.com/story/the-fbis…
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.
wired.com/story/the-fbis…Image
This comes after WIRED 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 the minutes cut from the first clip showed.

BREAKING: Metadata shows the FBI’s ‘raw’ Jeffrey Epstein prison video was likely modified. wired.com/story/metadata…
Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using a Adobe Premiere Pro. wired.com/story/metadata…
Experts caution that it’s unclear what exactly was edited, and that the metadata does not prove deceptive manipulation. wired.com/story/metadata…

Records of hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers obtained by WIRED—including audio recordings—show a system inundated by life-threatening incidents, delayed treatment, and overcrowding. wired.com/story/ice-dete…
Content warning:

On March 16, a woman identifying herself as a detainee at the Stewart Detention Center in Georgia, called 911. Communication was strained: The dispatcher spoke no Spanish.

"I need help,” the woman said. "I need … ayuda."
wired.com/story/ice-dete…
Since Jan., 10 facilities have collectively placed nearly 400 EMS calls.

- Nearly 50 involved potential cardiac episodes
- 26 referenced seizures
- 17 involved head injuries
- 7 described suicide attempts/self-harm

That's what has been recorded.

NEW: The alleged shooter is a 57-year-old white male; according to his ministry's website, he “sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn't the answer.”

UPDATE: In a 2023 sermon reviewed by WIRED and delivered by the alleged shooter in the Democratic Republic of Congo, he preached against abortion and called for different Christian churches to become “one.” wired.com/story/shooting…
In another sermon in Matadi that year, Boelter railed against the LGBTQ community. “They're confused,” he said. “The enemy has gotten so far into their mind and their soul.”

SCOOP: Edward Coristine (“Big Balls”), Luke Farritor, and Ethan Shaotran were part of the original DOGE crew. They were brought in under short-term “special government employee” status. Supposed to be temporary. Spoiler: it’s not. wired.com/story/big-ball…
As of May 31 (Coristine & Farritor) and April 10 (Shaotran), the trio officially became full-time federal employees. Their roles at the General Services Administration (GSA) are now permanent.

And they’re not exactly entry-level. wired.com/story/big-ball…
According to documentation viewed by WIRED, they each maintain their “senior advisor” titles.

Their pay? GS-15 for Coristine & Farritor, one of the highest government salary grades. Shaotran’s at GS-14—just one step below. wired.com/story/big-ball…

SCOOP: Elon Musk will not be fully exiting DOGE.

In fact, federal workers from at least six agencies tell WIRED that DOGE-style work is escalating in their departments, and Trump himself said in a press conference today that “Elon's really not leaving.”
wired.com/story/doge-elo…
Members of Musk’s early DOGE team, including Luke Farritor and Gavin Kliger, have met with a number of departments and agencies in recent days, seemingly continuing business as usual, WIRED has learned.

And the team appears to be actively recruiting.
wired.com/story/doge-elo…
Their latest focus? Canceling contracts.

Over the last week, federal workers have been asked to urgently review contracts across the government, and sources say the pressure to slash contracts has drastically increased in recent weeks.
