ABC News is defending its reporting on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein
is caught in a hot mic moment complaining that the network did not go with an interview she landed with one of his accusers., Robach says, “I had this interview with Virginia Roberts. We would not put it on the air. First of all, I was told, ‘Who’s Jeffrey Epstein? No one knows who that is. This is a stupid story. Then the palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways.
The leaked video was from last summer, just as the Epstein story was exploding and he was facing a new charges for sex trafficking of minors. He died in jail in August, in what a coroner ruled a suicide.“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.” she said.
“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 News said that at the time of the interview in 2015, “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.
