ABC blasted over story

NEW YORK — ABC News faced questions Tuesday about its reluctance to air a sensitive story after a leaked video emerged of reporter Amy Robach complaining about how her bosses handled an interview with a Jeffrey Epstein accuser.

The conservative website Project Veritas released video of Robach venting that “every day I get more and more pissed” that her 2015 interview with Virginia Giuffre never aired.

ABC said Tuesday that the interview lacked sufficient corroborating evidence. Robach, co-anchor of ABC’s “20/20” newsmagazine, said the leaked video caught her “in a private moment of frustration.”

Giuffre alleged that as a teen, she was forced by Epstein to have sex with prominent men, including Prince Andrew. Both denied the charges.

In the video, Robach complained that lawyer Alan Dershowitz and the British Royal Palace applied pressure to ABC not to air the interview with Giuffre.

ABC denied that outside pressure had anything to do with its decision.
