Do you know if that is a proven fact or is that a conspiracy theory?
A Reporter with ABC talked about it on set and it was released. Should be up on YouTube. Look what Trump did with the National Enquirer.
Okay...I looked it up and found this from the BBC:

Yeah, but Clinton and her death foundation worked with alien Nazis and Epstein to create the deep state.LOL...That crazy demon seed doctor that Trump has been promoting believes in lizard people.

Jeffrey Epstein: ABC stopped report 'amid Palace threats'
A TV anchor says Buckingham Palace "threatened us a million different ways" to bury the story.
The video you are describing is from Project Veritas who are notorious for spreading disinformation to discredit mainstream media.
In follow up interviews with ABC and the journalist:
How have ABC responded?
In a statement after the footage leaked, ABC stood by its decision not to air the interview, saying the reporting did not meet its standards.
"But we have never stopped investigating the story," the statement continues, adding that "substantial resources" had been dedicated to investigating Epstein.
In a separate statement, Robach said she "was caught in a private moment of frustration" last summer as the Epstein story unfolded.
She said she was "upset that an important interview I had conducted with Virginia Roberts didn't air because we could not obtain sufficient corroborating evidence" to meet ABC's editorial standards.
"My comments about Prince Andrew and her allegation that she had seen Bill Clinton on Epstein's private island were in reference to what Virginia Roberts said in that interview in 2015.
"I was referencing her allegation - not what ABC News had verified through our reporting."
She added that "in the years since no one ever told me or the team to stop reporting" on Epstein.
So...this is exactly my point. You talk about this like it is a proven fact when in actuality it is far from it. This is just speculation and disinformation from a shady source.
And so many things around the Epstein story are like this and I don’t have the time, interest, or energy to go around constantly fact checking these things.
That really sums up butler at this point.Okay...I looked it up and found this from the BBC:

Project Veritas meets your standards of journalist integrity?
Yes. It didn’t meet their standards at the time. They weren’t able to corroborate the allegations so they didn’t publish. That sounds reasonable...you cannot disprove it- you’re just believing something because you want it to be true for some reason...but it’s not.
That's par for the course. If it reaffirms his priors, it must be true.Okay...I looked it up and found this from the BBC:

She said it at the time. Then backtracked. That's the point. Why say it was killed for one reason then backtrack? To save her career. That's why.
She didn’t backtrack. Nothing she said on the tape is inconsistent with her subsequent statements.
Pressure from the Palace. Specifically to deny access. And it would have been the news division heads that killed it.She didn’t backtrack. Nothing she said on the tape is inconsistent with her subsequent statements.
She interviewed a woman in 2015 who made allegations about Epstein.
In 2019, she is recorded voicing frustration about not having been able to air the interview. She makes comments about pressure from Buckingham Palace (which is probably true)...but she never states that is why the story was not aired. She is basically expressing frustration that “if we’d known then what we know now” we could have aired this story long ago.
But we didn’t know then what we know now...and with no other independent corroboration of this young woman’s story it did not meet ABC News’ journalistic standards for publication so they did not publish it.
There is no backtracking. There is no scandal. This is a fake news story from Project Veritas that you are going around pedalling as though it is an established fact. But it’s not...in fact, it’s the opposite.
This is why I don’t spend a lot of time jumping down these rabbit holes because this is always what happens. I don’t even care about this stupid story. You’re the one who brought it up; I knew nothing about it until today. And I asked you, sincerely, if this was a conspiracy theory or a fact...and you assured me it was a fact. But a brief fact checking expedition on Google revealed this to be total bs...and now you are still arguing with me?
I tried to be nice to you and this is what I get? This is why nobody likes you, Butler1000.
Last I checked, news agencies report on the information they have confirmed, not on information which may be confirmed years later.
Except they don't. How many times have they got it wrong on speculation?
You seem not to know the difference between investigative reporting and filling the time for the 24h news cycle.
You mean how they got that one right?
