Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) has claimed that a 60 Minutes investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's banking relationships, for which he was interviewed, never aired following the exit of veteran correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi as part of the show's staffing upheaval.
The Democratic senator said in a new report that he sat down for an interview with Alfonsi in March as part of a CBS 60 Minutes investigation examining how major financial institutions handled Epstein's accounts and suspicious transactions.
