CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway.
The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦
My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable.

What does Joe mean that “Trump isn’t in the files”?! WE ALL KNOW TRUMP IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES.
Also, how does Joe know that there's "nothing" in the Epstein Files "really damning" about Trump? Has he actually seen the entirety of the Files?
I can't with this.

Scarborough: "Trump is not on Epstein's list. There's nothing in there really damning about Trump or Bill Clinton. So one of the great mysteries is not what Trump's hiding, it's why if he's not in the files - which all the reporting says he's not - why is he so obsessed on blocking access to them?"
