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.

Didn't they find that the video was run at 1.01 speed, making it seem like there was more time missing than was actually missing?

That would be less than a 2 second difference from the 3 minutes that was cut from the video.

It was an eleven hour video run at 101%, not just three minutes. You can read about it here.

Different issues. The 101% issue is that the released video is shorter than the time elapsed on the timestamps. The difference between timestamp and playback speed adds up over time to 7ish minutes iirc.

This issue is that the video is made from two clips. One cuts out at 11:58:58 and the other immediately cuts in at 12:00:00, showing a 00:01:02 gap in the timestamps. Examination of the file shows details of the source clips, indicating that the first clip continued for multiple minutes after the cut. That would make it overlap with the second clip, which is played in its entirety.
