ABC bosses scramble after Amy Robach’s comments about Jeffrey Epstein leak
2019-11-07
[PAGESIX]


ABC bosses are battling to deal with the fallout from comments made by "Good Morning America" news hound Amy Robach, who was caught on a hot mic claiming network brass scrapped her interview with a Jeffrey Want Some Candy, Little Girl? Epstein
...A high class pimp financier who was alleged to maintain a stable of underage whores sex slaves who were paid big bucks to entertain the rich and/or famous. He is a registered sex offender and made att least 17 out-of-court settlements with former members of his stable, with some cases still ongoing. 2011 court docs reveal that 21 email addresses and phone numbers for Bill Clinton and an aide were found in Epstein's electronic black book, and that Clinton frequently flew with Epstein on his private plane between 2002 to 2005. But really, they were probably just discussing finance or politix or something. While getting massaged. Then things got serious, Jeff was tossed in the slammer in New York and then he killed himself. Really. That's what happened...
accuser to appease the royal family.

The "GMA" news hound could be heard complaining that she spent three years trying to get the interview with Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who alleges she was forced to sleep with Prince Andrew while she was kept as Epstein’s sex slave, on air.

ABC news chiefs swiftly moved on Tuesday to have Robach issue a statement, in which she backtracked on her initial claims.

The anchor said she was "caught in a moment of private frustration" on the video, which was released by the conservative website Project Veritas Sunday and believed to have been taped this July.

In her statement, Robach said she was "disappointed" that her interview with Giuffre, taped in 2015, did not run as it failed to meet ABC’s reporting standards, while insisting that she had never been told to stop reporting on the Epstein scandal.

ABC sources told Page Six Tuesday there was "zero truth" that the interview was held to court favor with the royals, and particularly, as Robach said on camera, to get an interview with Prince William and wife Kate Middleton.

An ABC source said: "A lot of broadcasters can probably empathize. We do have to run everything past standards and practices and there are times when interviews can’t air.

"We needed time to corroborate details, and we were unable to verify a lot of Virginia’s claims."

This does not, however, answer why ABC did not run the interview at any time after 2015. Giuffre has now made her claims to a variety of media outlets.

Yeah. Like about 200 years. Unless the royal family is Republican, in which case we're good to go.
