“There was a deliberate request [to delete the footage] – this wasn’t a technical glitch,” Kirby said in June. “We may never know,” Kirby said, as he addressed tough questions from reporters. Eight minutes from the briefing, including the comments on the Iran deal, were edited out and replaced with a white-flash effect. Kirby said it’s possible the white-flash effect was inserted because the video had lost footage due to technical problems. Judicial Watch, a conservative advocacy group, filed suit this week seeking all records regarding the video footage and its deletion.
