This [article] is trash. Since the legal team can't respond, I, as a private citizen and as a friend of the family, can respond, and I'll do that every time it happens. These are my friends.

We happen to know, it's my understanding, that that is not the case. That should cast some doubt on the veracity of the rest of the article.

This news conference has been called to refute the outrageous, inaccurate, baseless statements made in the March issue of Vanity Fair magazine. The family is outraged, and justifiably so.

Thirty-seven points should have been enough to win. There are no excuses.

You know, back in the 1950s and '60s, when J. Edgar Hoover was making the FBI the respected organization it used to be, oftentimes they would find a fugitive and basically have his house surrounded, and then put out a press release saying he was on the top 10 most wanted list. And 10 minutes later, he'd be arrested.

I go around the country and do a simple gag like, 'The property ladder is now a snake' and get a real laugh.
