Caught Our Eye

Scheduler to Rep. Zinke knows how to handle controversies

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Jan. 17, 2023

"I'll never get a job anywhere else," Ashley Bianco once lamented to Megyn Kelly in an interview. But the former network-television producer has since landed on her feet, now working as a key member of Rep. Ryan Zinke's (R-Mont.) team.

Bianco, now Zinke's scheduler, found herself entrenched in controversy in 2019. ABC had accused the former Good Morning America producer of leaking a hot-mic tape to Project Veritas. The tape featured an ABC anchor saying that the network had years before killed her story about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Bianco was subsequently fired from CBS, where she had just begun a new producing job.

Bianco has maintained her innocence, telling Megyn Kelly through tears that she had "never" leaked the video and had merely accessed the tape as a part of her regular production responsibilities.
