ABC News faces questions Tuesday after a leaked video emerges of its reporter complaining about how her bosses handled an interview with a Jeffrey Epstein accuser.
ABC sought to minimize those comparisons by saying it has pursued and aired other stories about Epstein, the New York financier who died Aug. 10 while in police custody on sex trafficking charges.
The correspondent was visibly exasperated as she complained that"I tried for three years to get on to no avail and now it's coming out and it's like these 'new revelations' and I freaking had all of it."ABC denied that outside pressure had anything to do with its decision on the Roberts interview. Robach said in a statement that she referred to what Roberts had said in her interview, not what ABC News has verified through its own reporting. Corroborating evidence of the type the network sought should have included interviews with people familiar with Roberts' allegations or records that would verify she was at the places the alleged sex acts took place.
