GOP leader Kevin McCarthy slams Democrats for hiring ex-ABC president who SPIKED story on Jeffrey Epstein's role in human trafficking to make the January 6 primetime hearings more dramatic
by the Daily Mail, June 7, 2022
Kevin McCarthy tore into the January 6 select committee for hiring former ABC News Executive James Goldston to run their primetime hearings starting this week after he spiked a story at his former outlet the leader claims enabled sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
'The Democrats have turned to the former ABC News exec, under whose leadership ABC spiked a story on Jeffrey Epstein, to choreograph their Jan 6 political theatre,' McCarthy tweeted on Monday.
He also reupped an old post of his from November 2019 claiming that the then-President of ABC News was operating the network in a way that helped 'bury the truth' about sex offender Epstein, who died in jail in August of that year.
'I am deeply concerned that ABC News chose to bury the truth about Jeffrey Epstein's role in human trafficking,' McCarthy wrote in his tweet at the time.
The GOP leader attached an image of his letter, along with then-Georgia Representative Doug Collins and Michael McCaul of Texas, 'requesting more information about [ABC's] enabling of Mr. Epstein.'
The Democrat-led committee hired Goldston ahead of its first primetime hearing on Thursday, a report revealed on Monday.

Goldston is a former president of ABC News, but before that he ran the mammoth-sized operations at Good Morning America and Nightline as executive producer.
He's now an adviser to the group of nine lawmakers who are set to present their case that former President Donald Trump's efforts to undermine democracy culminated in the deadly events of January 6.
The first of six hearings will be held on Thursday at 8:00 p.m., and will reportedly focus mainly on the day-to-day events of the riot and contextualize it in Trump and his allies' wider efforts to overturn the election.
The second will happen next Monday, starting at 10:00 a.m.
Goldston, a documentary filmmaker who now runs his own production company Aquitania Films, is shaping the explosive event to be 'a blockbuster investigative special,' Monday's report states.
James Goldston is a documentary filmmaker who formerly ran the operations at Good Morning America and Nightline. He's now reportedly helping the Democrat-led Capitol riot committee shape its evidence in the upcoming hearings.
He's aiming for a 'raw' presentation of evidence in an effort to give it a longer life in the news cycle and 'so that skeptical journalists will find the material fresh.'

The former executive is also reportedly hoping to attract viewers outside of those who had already been following the committee's investigation.
Among the tranche of evidence Goldston is working with are apparently never-before-seen White House photographs from the day of the riot as well as videotaped depositions with key witnesses.
That includes footage from Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's hours-long testimonies in front of the committee which insiders told the Washington Post will make for 'gripping television.'
Footage from inside the Capitol that day, reportedly only a fraction of which has been made public so far, will also be shown.
Multiple reports signal that Republicans are mounting a heavy counteroffensive to the primetime presentation.
It's not clear if Trump will weigh in yet but both CNN and Axios have signaled that House GOP leadership including Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and GOP Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik will play large roles in coordinating the response.
