67. Looks like reporting on this is rapidly changing

So much so that I had an article up by The Telegraph which was changed by the next time I returned to it.

Can see the change through Google news, by searching for "Wigdor confirmed" though I'm not sure how long that will remain visible.

From the article as originally written:

‎
Telegraph.co.uk - Peter Allen - Jon Swaine - 2 hours ago
But Mr Wigdor confirmed that he had seen the surveillance video of the joyful meeting between two hotel employees. “Who knows why they are celebrating? ...

Now changed to:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/dominique-strauss-ka...
Commenting on the surveillance video, Mr Wigdor said: “Who knows why they are celebrating?” he said. “There was no audio”.

Wigdor is not part of Accor. He is the maid's lawyer.

Epstein noted on Twitter that 16 hours ago Accor was saying the tape did not exist and now they have changed that to what you posted.

Found this which indicates the above:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france...
The Accor Group, which owns the Sofitel chain, did not make an initial comment about the Epstein article. Le Figaro quoted a source close to the group as saying that Accor staff had searched security tapes for any evidence of the alleged dance and found nothing, but Liberation said that a "judicial source" has seen the footage described by Mr Epstein.
