Leak exposes ABC’s ‘Epstein coverup’
By RT
November 05, 2019 "Information
Clearing House" - ABC News knew the full extent of Jeffrey
Epstein’s crimes three years ago, but a
combination of orders from above and threats
from those implicated killed the story before it
ever got to air, leaked footage shows.
In a video clip released by conservative group
Project Veritas on Tuesday, ABC News anchor Amy
Robach is caught on a
“hot mic”
speaking to colleagues at the news desk. Robach
reveals that she had been contacted by Virginia
Roberts (Giuffre), who alleges Epstein used her
as a sex slave, and pimped her out to his
powerful friends, including Britain’s Prince
Andrew.
“I’ve had this interview with
Virginia Roberts...we would not put it on the
air,” Robach says on camera. “First of
all, I was told ‘who’s Jeffrey Epstein.’ Then
the Palace found out that we had her whole
allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened
us a million different ways.”
She told me everything. She
had pictures, she had everything. It was
unbelievable what we had. We had Clinton, we
had everything.
Former President Bill Clinton was among those who
traveled multiple times on Epstein’s private jet,
dubbed the “Lolita Express.” As well as
Clinton and Prince Andrew, Robach claims that lawyer
Alan Dershowitz was implicated in Roberts’
testimony.

Robach says that she tried to convince her bosses
to air her story for three years, but “to no
avail.”
“And now it’s all coming out and it’s like
these new revelations, and I freaking had all of it.
What we had was unreal.”
Epstein was found dead in his cell in New York’s
Metropolitan Correctional Center in August, where he
was awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking
charges. His death was ruled a suicide, with the
city’s chief medical examiner determining the sex
offender hung himself from his bunk bed in the cell.
Reports that Epstein had been taken off suicide
watch two days earlier, and that the guards on watch
left him unsupervised for longer than usual fuelled
rumors that foul play was afoot. Epstein’s
connections to high profile political and business
figures led many to speculate that the mogul was
murdered.
When New York’s former chief medical examiner,
Dr. Michael Baden,
claimed last month that Epstein’s wounds were
more consistent with “homicidal strangulation”
than suicide, the mystery was revived again, and the
internet was flooded with “Epstein didn’t kill
himself” memes and comments.
Robach said she believes “100 percent”
Epstein was murdered.
Do I think he was killed? A
hundred percent, yes I do. He made his whole
living blackmailing people… There were a lot of
men in those planes, a lot of men who visited
that island, a lot of powerful men who came into
that apartment.
When Epstein died, the case against him died too,
as the financier was the sole defendant. A group of
Epstein’s accusers and alleged victims have called
on prosecutors to keep the case open, arguing that
his associates - including girlfriend and alleged
trafficking partner Ghislaine Maxwell - could also
be culprits.
“Please, please finish what you have started
... we all know he did not act alone,” accuser
Sarah Ransome told a court hearing in New York in
August. “We are all survivors, and the pursuit
of justice should not abate."
Several hours after Project Veritas' story broke,
ABC News defended its decision not to air Robach's
interview with Roberts, claiming the story did not
meet its "standards to air." Robach herself
said that the footage captured her in "a private
moment of frustration," and her story lacked "sufficient
corroborating evidence," despite saying on
camera that she had "everything."
Though ABC cited journalistic standards as reason
for withholding the story, the network has aired
uncorroborated stories before. Last year ABC parted
ways with investigative journalist Brian Ross, after
a
false report that President Donald Trump ordered
former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to
make contact with Russia in the runup to the 2016
election.
