The title is a bit clickbaity but that’s the only story on this I could find and according to the rules, post needs to match the article’s title. Anyways, they are claiming that the government is in possession of the full video with the minute intact, not that the footage posted wasn’t missing a minute

    A lot of peope in these comments are oddly confused about this article, probably because the headline is worded intentionally poorly.

    This is a whistleblower revealing that the administration really did edit a minute out of the video and then lied about it normally missing a minute every day, and that this lie can be exposed because the original, unedited video contains the missing footage.

    The whistleblower’s claim is challenging the official goverment word on this. This isn’t the government trying to Jedi mindtrick you, like how CBS wanted the headline to read.
