Strahan, Sara & Keke were later replaced by the program as GMA3: What You Need to Know, with Robach as host.
Project Veritas released a "hot mic" episode on September 2, 2019, in which Robach addresses ABC's decision not to air billionaire convicted of child assault and alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in 2015. Robach's remarks came just two days after an NPR news revealed the existence of an on-camera interview with Virginia Roberts Giuffre and ABC's inability to air it. Giuffre alleges she was sexually abused by Epstein to influential men, including Prince Andrew, Duke of York, a charge that the Duke has strenuously denied. Robach was caught on camera for ABC's Good Morning America's "hot mic" video, saying the following words:
In the video, Robach says, "I've been doing this for three years." "We would not put it on the air." Um, first and foremost: Who was Jeffrey Epstein?' No one knows who it is. This is a stupid story.' Then the palace found out that we had his whole complaint about Prince Andrew and threatened us in a million ways." In the interview, Robach mentions that Giuffre alluded to others, including former President Bill Clinton, Harvard University law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz, and Epstein's former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell. In court records, Giuffre has made similar allegations against all of them. (All deny any wrongdoing or involvement in Epstein's sex trafficking.) Giuffre has said in legal papers that she saw Clinton in Epstein's presence but did not see Clinton participate in any sexual activity.
Robach says, "I tried for three years to get it out to no avail, and now these new reports and — I freaking had all of it." "I'm so piss right now." Every day, I get more ill, 'coz I'm just like, 'Oh My God!' It was — what we had — was unreal.'"
“One of the reasons why an interview with Roberts was not broadcast was because we were so afraid we wouldn't be able to talk to Kate and Will, so I suppose that had also quashed the story.”
Robach added to the leaked video with the following: "I was trapped in a private moment of annoyance as the Epstein story unfolded last summer. I was furious that a critical interview I had with Virginia Roberts didn't air because we didn't have enough corroborating evidence to satisfy ABC's editorial guidelines on her allegations. Prince Andrew's remarks about her and her suggestion that Bill Clinton had a private island on Epstein's private island were in reference to what Virginia Roberts said in a 2015 interview. I was referring to her allegations, not ABC News' results, which had been verified by our reporters. The interview itself, although I was disappointed that it didn't air, didn't meet our requirements. We have continued to eagerly follow this critical news in the years since no one told me or the team to avoid reporting on Jeffrey Epstein.
"At the time, not all of our reporting met our broadcasting requirements," ABC News said, but the investigation has not been ongoing." We've had a team on this probe and substantial funds dedicated to it ever since. The result has resulted in a two-hour documentary and a six-part podcast that will air in the new year.
