CBS News reportedly fired the former ABC employee who leaked a video of ABC anchor Amy Robach accusing the network of killing a story about dead accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Robach was caught on camera alleging that ABC killed her interview with Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre, according to a video Project Veritas released Tuesday. The anchor said Buckingham Palace threatened ABC News after finding out Prince Andrew was a part of the story and added that she “had all of” the reporting years ago.
“I’ve had this story for three years,” Robach said in the unearthed video. “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. I’m so pissed right now.”
A CBS spokesperson declined to comment on whether the person in question had been fired, Page Six reported.
The employee who had access to the tape while working at ABC reportedly moved on to a job at CBS News, anonymous sources told journalist Yashar Ali. CBS allegedly fired that employee, a woman, Wednesday after ABC executives notified CBS of the situation, a TV source said, Page Six reported.

ABC News confirmed in a statement Wednesday that they were investigating the source of the leak.
“We take violations of company policy very seriously, and we’re pursuing all avenues to determine the source of the leak,” a spokesperson for ABC News said, according to Ali.
CBS News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
