The woman who allegedly recorded a video of ABC News’s Amy Robach admitting that her network spiked her story about a Jeffrey Epstein revealed that she recorded the clip but denied publishing or leaking it.
The woman who obtained the video, Ashley Bianco, 25, was a former producer for Good Morning America. She had left that position prior to getting the video and was an Emmy-winning producer for CBS This Morning, but CBS News fired her after ABC News was able to confirm that she was the person who accessed the video.
“I did not [leak the tape],” Bianco stated and claimed she never showed it to anyone. She did, however, admit to making a clip of the moment but added that she only did it on an internal server. She explained that “it never left the system,” and added that she didn’t tell her bosses about the clip.
“I’m not the whistleblower,” she said. “The leaker is still inside.”
On Tuesday, Project Veritas released a video of Amy Robach discussing the information she received years earlier from Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre on a hot mic. The reporter can be heard expressing her frustration surrounding ABC News’s refusal to air the interview and claimed that the network made the decision after receiving threats from Buckingham Palace after they had found out Prince Andrew was implicated in the story.
She also alleged that Epstein, the convicted sex offender who was found dead in his jail cell in August, might have been murdered, which has been a frequent conspiracy theory since his death.
“It was unbelievable what we had. Clinton, we had everything,” Robach was caught saying. “I tried for three years to get it on to no avail. And now it’s all coming out, and it’s like these new revelations, and I freaking had all of it.”
A representative for CBS News told the Washington Examiner the network is “declining to comment” on Bianco’s firing.
