Re: Vanity Fair

Dear Ghislaine

Klein's questions follow, below. If we are to respond, I would advise we stick to written responses rather than engage via 'phone. Klein has form for story-twisting re Hillary Clinton. Written responses at least give us an audit trail of what was said.

A lot of this is Mail on Sunday rehash. Klein has our statement, but is offering the chance for further clarification...I get the feeling he's likely to make unflattering assumptions if we don't give him on the record answers.

Please advise on those questions which you feel you more comfortable answering. We can head him off at the pass on those and put legal frighteners on him elsewhere.

Just a caveat - we should be aware that there is a chance that anything other than fully robust answers might be construed as inadvertent admissions of wrongdoing, so we will need legal team to advise on precise wording. Do you want me to pass this on to Devonshires if you have not already done so...?

He wont ad details but you can try
