‘I did not assault him’: Costello denies attacking News Corp reporter
Things have spiralled further for Nine Entertainment, as the company’s chairman Peter Costello was caught on camera allegedly assaulting a reporter from The Australian, an act he later denied.
Costello was walking through Canberra Airport on Thursday night, when he was peppered with questions from The Australian’s journalist Liam Mendes regarding the current sexual harassment scandal at Nine.
Video footage shows contact between Costello and Mendes, then the journalist hitting the ground.
