The CBS reporter who led the story calls pulling it a "political" decision.

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care.

Jack Smith reiterated, clearly and publicly, that Top Secret documents were held at Mar-a-Lago. Not misplaced. Not misunderstood. Held. And then he dropped the part

They didn’t just find the documents.
They followed the trail.

Gifting this article on the CECOT story in which Sharyn Alfonsi, the correspondent on the story, is reported as writing: “It [the story] is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now, after every rigorous internal check has been met, is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.”
