Help Trump FIGHT Impeachment [ACT NOW]
Reporter Yashar Ali posted a Twitter thread explaining that the unnamed whistleblower – who shared the video of ABC anchor Amy Robach complaining about her squashed Epstein exposé – has been fired at CBS News.
In the video, Robach fumes about how her team coaxed one of Epstein’s victims to speak out – after 12 years in hiding. Her investigation linked Epstein to former President Bill Clinton, Great Britain’s Prince Andrew, attorney Alan Dershowitz, and other powerful men.
But before the report could air, ABC News executives killed the story, ostensibly because the network wanted access to Britain’s royal family.

ABC News claims Robach’s reporting failed to meet their editorial standards, despite their track record of blunders.
Still, ABC News chiefs have gotten their revenge on Robach’s former co-worker. One day after Project Veritas posted her leaked video, senior officials at ABC pressured her new employer, CBS News, to fire her.

2. In a statement, an ABC News spokesperson tells me: “We take violations of company policy very seriously, and we’re pursuing all avenues to determine the source of the leak.”https://t.co/OHEoyahppY

3. It’s important to note that ABC News does not know if this former employee leaked the footage to Project Veritas. What they do know is who accessed the footage. It’s possible that person could have shared it with others who leaked it. https://t.co/OHEoyahppY

4. As I noted in this thread, ABC News has confirmed they’re conducting an investigation into the leak.
In response to an email, CBS News says they’re declining to comment for this story. https://t.co/OHEoyahppY

5. Update: Two sources familiar with the matter tell me that CBS News has fired the staffer in question. This comes after ABC informed CBS that they had determined who accessed the footage of Amy Robach expressing her frustrations about the Epstein story. https://t.co/OHEoyahppY

The Right Scoop further reports:
So there you go. ABC News destroyed the career of their whistleblower but the Trump ‘whistleblower’ needs to be protected at all costs.
Here’s a little Twitter reaction…
Looks like two media outlets conspired to retaliate against a whistleblower. Meanwhile, they’re claiming Resistance talking point that merely identifying Ukraine leaker — even though he’s protected from retaliation— is unacceptable. Interesting. https://t.co/WqQgMRLbA6

Not only have most networks ignored this major story about ABC News killing the Epstein story years ago, but now CBS News has assisted ABC News in punishing the person who allegedly exposed it. https://t.co/LFm7jBaibZ
