ABC Anchor Amy Robach Says Network Suppressed Jeffrey Epstein Reporting

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Conservative watchdog Project Veritas released video Tuesday of ABC News anchor Amy Robach saying the network suppressed her reporting on Jeffrey Epstein. The video, apparently provided by an unnamed ABC employee, shows Robach last summer alleging to an unseen audience that she connected Epstein to Prince Andrew of the British Royal Family, and that ABC avoided the story after the Palace threatened to stop doing interviews with the network.

Robach and ABC released separate statements on the video; Robach said she was caught in a "private moment of frustration", and ABC said Robach's reporting did not meet ethical standards.
