Excellent interview by @katie_polglase.
She interviewed Daniel Siad in Paris, a modeling scout who recruited young models for Epstein after the financier registered as a sex offender.

I asked Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed about why he erasing old posts, including a dozen tweets that championed the “defund the police” movement, following reporting from my @KFILE colleagues.

The plan
Graham Platner was recruited to run for Senate by a pair of socialist political operatives, Daniel Moraff and Leanne Fan, who determined that another prospective candidate had “a skeleton in the closet.”
The Wall Street Journal published a rare interview with the duo on Sunday who revealed they paid “a whole chunk of money” to vet Platner but managed to turn up neither his Nazi ink nor many of his Reddit posts.

It's called integrity, baby
"We have canceled interviews the day before they happen when we're told, 'You can't ask about X, Y, and Z.'"
NYT "Popcast" hosts @joecoscarelli and @joncaramanica explain why they won't let artists set the terms for interviews:

NEW: We've asked Platner's campaign since year to explain text messages showing his ex-girlfriend was describing his tattoo as a Nazi symbol months before Platner says he knew its meaning.
Platner was pressed on it last night and said, "I can’t say why."

CNN's @KFile reports on evidence that undercuts Senate candidate Graham Platner's claim that he only learned of his tattoo's Nazi associations last year.
A woman who previously spoke to CNN anonymously is now going public, saying Platner referred to the image as "my Totenkopf" years before the controversy.
She also provided CNN text messages showing that months before Platner says he learned the symbol's Nazi meaning, she was discussing among her friends.

We dove deep into the Epstein Files to discover how the cat-and-mouse game between Epstein and federal law enforcement unfolded.
CNN visuals built an incredible interactive to tell the story of Epstein’s final 9 months as he sought to escape justice:
