Amy Robach was recorded in August sharing how she filmed an interview with Jeffrey Epstein’s sex slave Giuffre in 2015 that she spent three years trying to get on the air.
Project Veritas obtained a video of Robach in a discussion with her producer, saying: ‘I’ve had this interview for years. I’ve had this interview with Virginia Roberts. We would not put it on the air.’
Robach revealed in the recording why the interview never saw the light of day, saying that the palace threatened to sue the network and that there were concerns that Prince William and Kate Middleton would no longer grant the network any interviews.

ABC said in a statement at the time of the revelation: ‘At the time, not all of our reporting met our standards to air, but we have never stopped investigating the story. Ever since we’ve had a team on this investigation and substantial resources dedicated to it. That work has led to a two-hour documentary and six-part podcast that will air in the new year.’
‘Truth and Lies’ will feature material from a 2003 interview with Epstein where the pedophile discusses his life. It also includes Epstein’s deposition tapes, police interview with his young victims and their reactions recently seeing Epstein in court last summer.
The podcast is produced by the ABC News Investigative Unit and ABC Audio.
