Project Veritas on Nov. 5 released a video of ABC’s Amy Robach saying that a major story she had about Jeffrey Epstein three years ago, which reportedly named both Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew as the wealthy pedophile’s friends, was killed by network executives who told her the story was not ready for air.

In response, White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said: “For ABC to make the comment that it wasn’t up to our standards to put on television, I guess that doesn’t apply to Kavanaugh, I guess that doesn’t apply to Covington kids, I guess that doesn’t apply when you put up a video and say ‘look at the shelling in Syria’ but it’s actually Kentucky.”

Robach, co-anchor of Good Morning America, is seen on video expressing frustration to an ABC News producer that a witness brought forth damning information regarding Epstein, but the network opted against airing the report.

“I’ve had this interview with Virginia [Guiffre],” Robach is seen explaining of the alleged Epstein victim. “We would not put it on the air. I was told ‘Who’s Jeffrey Epstein. No one knows who that is. This is a stupid story.’ ”

Robach continues: “We convinced her [Giuffre] to talk to us. It was unbelievable what we had, Clinton, we had everything.”

“I had it all three years ago,” she adds.

Gidley, in an interview with Breitbart Editor in Chief Alex Marlow also pointed to the ABC News Brian Ross Russia report that actually shifted the stock markets before the news outlet had to walk back Ross’s reporting.

While the higher-ups at ABC told Robach the Epstein story wasn’t up to its standards, the network in the meantime ran with several questionable stories, The Daily Caller noted:

• ABC ran a number of stories on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, including gang-rape allegations.

• Former ABC employee Brian Ross ran a story falsely claiming that President Donald Trump had directed Michael Flynn to make contact with the Russians prior to the election.

• The “live footage” ABC aired of armed confl ict in Syria was actually fi lmed on location at a shooting range in Kentucky.

Robach and ABC each released a statement on the Project Veritas video, saying that they continued to pursue the Epstein story but it never went to air because it didn’t meet their editorial standards.
