The Associated Press has released video from a Bill Cosby interview in which Cosby not only refuses to answer questions about recently surfaced rape allegations, but also pressures the AP reporter to 'scuttle' the portion of the interview about the allegations.

The interview took place on November 6th, but was just released this week.

"I would appreciate it if it was scuttled. I think if you want to consider yourself to be serious, that it will not appear anywhere."

"I know I didn’t say anything, but I'm asking your integrity that since I didn't want to say anything, but I did answer you in terms of I didn't want to say anything, what value would it have?" Cosby pleaded.

The reporter made no promises and referred those decisions to his editor.

The AP did not originally release the portion of the interview that addressed the rape allegations, but have now released it in light of additional allegations of abuse against the legendary comedian.
