Broadcaster Andrew Neil is bringing a defamation case against US businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri over tweets he claims contain allegations he is a “paedophile” and was “complicit in the abuse of children” with Jeffrey Epstein, the High Court has heard.
Mr Neil believes the alleged meaning of the two tweets made by Ms Arcuri in December last year are “gravely defamatory and wholly false” and he denies ever meeting the deceased billionaire, the court was told.
