Fox News is doing its best to ignore the scoop uncovered by its sister outlet, the Wall Street Journal, that President Donald Trump was reportedly told in May that his name appears in the governments files about accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
After the Journal published its story on Wednesday afternoon, a TV Eyes transcript search of Fox News content suggests that it was mentioned in any detail only on Special Report, during a brief segment with anchor Brett Baier.
Otherwise, the bombshell that clarifies why Trump, his administration, and congressional Republicans continue to block release of Epstein-related files was buried by the conservative network. Fox hosts like Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, and Greg Gutfeld effectively censored information damaging to Trump, hiding the report from their audiences.
Fox News main website has also buried the story. A search for Epstein on the site appears to show no reporting on the Wall Street Journals story, and at the time of this storys publication, the front page of the site was focused on other unrelated stories.
