Epstein Whistleblower Found Dead Right After Exposing Ties
"Epstein Whistleblower Found Dead Right After Exposing Ties" is a segment from The Young Turks in which Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss the death of Simon Andriesz. He was a 57-year-old British banker who had worked on Wall Street, and he gave evidence to the House oversight committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein in the months before he died. The video's description says his death has been reported as a suicide.
The hosts begin with the circumstances of his death. Its chapters then turn to the evidence he gave, what they call congressional inaction, retaliation against people who speak up, and the role of government.
The segment drew about eight times the views of a usual first day for the show. It went up alongside the network's usual run of clips, among them an interview on Yemen with Annelle Sheline and a segment on rising Treasury yields, and it ran far ahead of all of them. The comment section filled about six times faster than usual. Many viewers ask why the death has not drawn wider coverage, and many return to the long wait for the Epstein files.
Across the whole channel, the day was a little slower than usual, so this one segment drew a large share of the views.
