People should know you launched an investigation as a result of his admission and that you went through ALL of his stories where Epstein was a source!

I don't think this former NYT reporter is wrong at all about their Epstein coverage in 2018-19; they wrote dozens of stories about him and his connections to Trump.
But you can't rely on coverage alone to maintain trust with readers! Perhaps don't sweep your reporter's bad behavior under the rug!
