Ex-minister: 'I was trying to warn Travolta about extortion'
A Bahamian politician arrested over an alleged plot to blackmail actor John Travolta said he had only tried to warn the star after his 16-year-old son died from a seizure.
Obie Wilchcombe said fellow parliamentarian Pleasant Bridgewater told him “someone was doing something untowards” after Travolta’s son Jett died at the family’s Grand Bahama home – a message he said he had relayed to the actor’s lawyers.
