‘Don’t call Jeffrey Epstein a paedophile’ – that was the demand of a top NI lawyer to a London newspaper in 2011. Paul Tweed was brought in to try and limit the damage to the sex-offender’s reputation after he was released from prison. The Belfast solicitor is one of the best-known libel lawyers in the UK and Ireland. He has told the Belfast Telegraph that he “categorically rejects the suggestion that he acted in any way inappropriately”, saying he acted within his professional and regulatory obligations. The Belfast Telegraph’s Northern Ireland editor Sam McBride joins Ciarán Dunbar in the studio.
