In November 2019 a video surfaced in which Robach can be heard complaining—off-camera and apparently unaware she was being recorded—that ABC News had shelved a 2015 interview she conducted with Virginia Roberts Giuffre (formerly “Virginia Roberts”)—one of the women accusing Jeffrey Epstein and members of his circle of sexual-trafficking of minors. The tape (ultimately leaked by the activist group Project Veritas) includes Robach claiming that higher-ups at the network told her “Who’s Jeffrey Epstein? No one knows who that is. This is a stupid story.” She also suggests the reason the story was killed was pressure from the British royal family via the palace, because the allegations involved Prince Andrew. In the tape Robach says: “I tried for three years to get it on… What we had was unreal… Bill Clinton — we had everything.”

In response, both Robach and ABC News issued statements. Robach said she was “caught in a private moment of frustration,” clarifying that the 2015 interview “didn’t meet our standards” for airing because the network could not secure sufficient corroborating evidence, and that she was referencing what Giuffre alleged, not what ABC had verified.    ABC News stated that while “not all of our reporting met our standards to air,” they have never ceased investigating Epstein’s story and continue to dedicate resources, including a documentary and podcast series. They also stated that the story was not quashed for access reasons.
