Hot Mic: ABC Spiked Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's Story

In a Project Veritas bombshell, leaked video shows ABC news anchor Amy Robach slaming her network for "quashing" a story she had about notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The news anchor said, “I’ve had this interview with Virginia Roberts [Now Virginia Guiffre, alleged Epstein victim]. We would not put it on the air. Um, first of all, I was told “Who’s Jeffrey Epstein.  No one knows who that is.  This is a stupid story.”

Robach revealed that Roberts claimed that she was underage when she had sex with Prince Andrews. “The Palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways,” she said. “We were so afraid we wouldn’t be able to interview Kate and Will that we — that also quashed the story.” She also said that the Roberts' interview revealed accusations against former US President Bill Clinton.

Robach also expressed doubt that the pedophile Epstein killed himself. “So do I think he was killed? 100% Yes, I do…He made his whole living blackmailing people… Yup, there were a lot of men in those planes. A lot of men who visited that Island, a lot of powerful men who came into that apartment.”

Clearly frustrated and disgusted, she said, “…there will come a day when we will realize Jeffrey Epstein was the most prolific pedophile this country has ever known...we had everything,...I tried for three years to get it on, to no avail. And now it’s all coming out and it’s like these new revelations and I freaking had all of it. I’m so pissed right now. Every day I get more and more pissed ’cause I’m just like, oh my god. What we had was unreal.”

In a statement after the revelation of the video, Amy Robach said 

“I was upset that an important interview I had conducted with Virginia Roberts didn’t air because we could not obtain sufficient corroborating evidence to meet ABC’s editorial standards about her allegations...My comments about Prince Andrew and her allegation that she had seen Bill Clinton on Epstein’s private island were in reference to what Virginia Roberts said in that interview in 2015. I was referencing her allegations – not what ABC News had verified through our reporting."

The statement continued, “The interview itself, while I was disappointed it didn’t air, didn’t meet our standards...In the years since no one ever told me or the team to stop reporting on Jeffrey Epstein, and we have continued to aggressively pursue this important story.”

ABC released a similar statement:

“At the time, not all of our reporting met our standards to air, but we have never stopped investigating the story....Ever since we’ve had a team on this investigation and substantial resources dedicated to it. That work has led to a two-hour documentary and 6-part podcast that will air in the new year.”
