CBS Fires Former ABC Staffer Involved in Leak of Robach Video

A former ABC employee accused of leaking the viral video of anchor Amy Robach attacking the network’s executives has been fired from their current post at CBS.

An internal ABC investigation found that the employee had improperly accessed the footage of Robach, but did not determine whether the employee leaked the footage directly to Project Veritas, which published the video on Tuesday, or shared the footage with someone else who passed on the footage to the right-wing opposition research group.

ABC passed on the findings of its investigation to CBS executives, who fired the employee in response, journalist Yashar Ali reported Thursday.
