'60 Minutes' Epstein-banks story vanished amid CBS upheaval under Bari Weiss
A new Senate report on Wall Street banks' handling of Jeffrey Epstein's finances calls out President Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary, a Republican senator, and the Bari Weiss-led "60 Minutes."
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) sat for an interview in March with then-"60 Minutes" correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi to discuss Wall Street banks' relationships with Epstein, Bloomberg reported, but two months later the correspondent was gone.
CBS News fired Alfonsi after she publicly criticized network leadership and Weiss, the network's editor in chief, over editorial decisions on a separate, unrelated segment. Neither the Wyden interview nor the broader banks-and-Epstein story CBS had been reporting has ever aired.
