Why did the Trump admin officials continually claim there was a list that they were gonna be releasing beforehand?
Because he stoked the flames of this conspiracy while campaigning, and his government is a mixture of incompetent true believers and cynical yes men.
Why say he was never on Epstein's plane when we know he was on Epstein's plane?
Because Trump is a habitual liar and says whatever he thinks will benefit him.
Why are they lying about the "raw footage" that was clearly edited?
The demand for such footage outstripped supply, so they embellished what they had. The "clearly edited" parts I've seen are the missing minute and file metadata indicating editing software involved, both of which could be irrelevant technical details of how the security system works and how the file was produced. Neither are definitive evidence of tampering. Of course, tampering is still possible even in a "Epstein wasn't murdered" world if They are sufficiently worried about the mob.
