An ABC News anchor was caught on a hot mic appearing to suggest the network could have reported a major story on wealthy financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein years ago but chose to squash it instead.
Video of “20/20” co-anchor Amy Robach speaking to her producer in August was leaked to Project Veritas.
“I’ve had the story for three years, I’ve had this interview with Virginia Roberts. We would not put it on the air,” Robach said. “First of all, I was told, ‘Who’s Jeffrey Epstein, no one knows who that is, this is a stupid story.'”
