James O’Keefe posted Wednesday that Project Veritas is being given more ABC “insider tape” by sources following the release of hot mic video of reporter Amy Robach venting about ABC spiking her damning report on Jeffrey Epstein three years ago and stating her belief Epstein was killed in prison.
O’Keefe posted the announcement with photos of himself putting a dress shirt on over a bullet proof vest, writing, “Project Veritas is past the point of no return on this one”
Within an hour of O’Keefe’s post Wednesday, reporter Yashar Ali reported a scoop that ABC is hot on the trail of the person the network believe accessed the Robach tape and may have leaked it directly or indirectly to Project Veritas. That person now reportedly works for rival CBS.
“DEVELOPING: SOURCES ARE GIVING US MORE INSIDER TAPE WITHIN @ABC… The insiders tell us they trust us over any other media outlet. @Project_Veritas is past the point of no return on this one. Stay tuned as I send our team out to corroborate the story over the next few days…”
