Email thread about a Telegraph story on Prince Andrew interview, March 2020
Email exchange in which a public affairs official complains a Telegraph reporter misquoted him about Prince Andrew's lawyers declining an interview with Epstein investigatorsMachine-written summary
Yes. They just copied the Telegraph. They never called.¶
This Telegraph abomination was I, quoted wrongly and contra the ground rules. I will call this awful woman Monday to gripe, probably to no avail, and that will be the last time I ever engage with her.
And the tenor of the story is flagrantly misleading. She asked how one can know the prince won’t agree to be interviewed if there’s been no communication. I told her off the record (or possibly this part was on background, but in any event not with the understanding that it would have quotation marks around it) that our office contacted his lawyers, and they responded us there would be no interview, that it wasn’t the case that we’re still waiting to find out if they even received our inquiry. Based on that, she says ‘Andrew’s lawyers have been in communication with the office’ or however she phrased it, and says that’s different from what you said. As if there is ongoing dialog, ongoing negotiations or something, which is absolutely not what I said.
Tuesday will mark 24 years for me doing law enforcement public affairs, between the FBI and here, and I should know better than to even try to talk to a British tabloid.
