When billionaires conspire with fascists to capture media outlets, the impact on journalism isn't always obvious. In this case, we know about a story that CBS killed. In many cases, we never find out what they don't want us to know.

60 Minutes Quietly Killed Story About Epstein’s Shady Banking Tactics

Senator Ron Wyden sat for an interview with correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi about Jeffrey Epstein’s bank transactions. Alfonsi was fired for other reasons shortly after, and the story never aired.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

America’s legal system To practice law: —4 year degree, LSAT, 3 year JD, pass BAR, buy malpractice insurance, total cost ~$300K To enforce law: —Here’s paid 13-week training & a gun To write law: —0 qualifications needed, a billionaire can buy your seat Vote only for people funded by people.❤️✊🏽

The Trump family said they were “debanked” for political reasons after Jan. 6—and used that to justify going hard into crypto. Turns out Capital One flagged them for money laundering. And then Blanche wrote the memo shielding the Trump family from IRS audits? Hm.

I have been called an alarmist and worse by well meaning people who want to think it will just all be ok. The truth is it doesn't always end up ok and we can't pretend it will. Donald Trump is targeting Black voters and women to rig this election. We need to stand up, call it out and take action.
