Sean Penn Had Secret Meeting With "El Chapo" Guzman
Actor Sean Penn said the Mexican governments assertions that his interview with Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman led them to the fugitive drug kingpin are false and intended to make him a potential cartel target.
In an interview scheduled to air Sunday on CBSs "60 Minutes," Penn emphasized that Guzmans eventual capture took place far from the site of their meeting. Penn said his interviewwith Guzman was a failure because he wanted it to start a conversation about the war on drugs.
"I have a regret that the entire discussion about this article ignores its purpose, which was to contribute to this discussion about the policy in the war on drugs," Penn said, according to a transcript of the interview with Charlie Rose. "Let me be clear. My article has failed."
Eduardo Sanchez, the spokesman for Mexico President Enrique Pena Nieto, declined to comment on Penns assertion about the Mexican governments intentions.
