Source:Sen. Ron Wyden is accusing CBS News of shelving a 60 Minutes interview that he says could have shed new light on Jeffrey Epstein’s financial network and the banks that handled millions of dollars in suspicious transactions tied to the disgraced financier.
According to the report, the segment never aired and was effectively “suppressed,” Newsweek reports.
The report further claims that JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America violated federal anti-money laundering laws by failing to properly screen and report suspicious financial transactions involving Epstein.
“We air pieces when they are ready, and suggesting that an interview is being ‘suppressed’ for any reason is categorically false,” a network spokesperson said in a statement.
The report also notes that it is unclear whether the broader investigation will ever air following Alfonsi’s departure from the network.
