The '20/20' anchor said she 'tried for three years' to get the story on air in hot microphone footage.
"[Roberts] told me everything," Robach says in the clip."She had pictures. She had everything. She was in hiding for 12 years. We convinced her to come out. We convinced her to talk to us. It was unbelievable what we had. Clinton. Everything."
A frustrated Robach can then be heard saying:"I tried for three years to get it on [air]. And now it's all coming out. I'm so pissed right now. Every day I get more and more pissed. What we had was unreal.", ABC News said:"At the time, not all of our reporting met our standards to air, but we have never stopped investigating the story. Ever since we've had a team on this investigation and substantial resources dedicated to it.
In a separate statement, Robach said:"As a journalist, as the Epstein story continued to unfold last summer, I was caught in a private moment of frustration. I 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 about her allegations."
"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 allegations—not what ABC News had verified through our reporting. The interview itself, while I was disappointed it didn't air, didn't meet our standards.
