Mayor Rob Ford denies trying to buy drug video

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford denied allegations in newly released court documents that he offered $5,000 (€3,440) and a car to suspected drug dealers in exchange for a video that appears to show him smoking crack.

The mayor addressed the issue during an appearance on a Washington DC-based sports talk show to make NFL picks on WJFK-FM.

“Number one, that’s an outright lie, and number two, you can talk to my lawyers about it, but I’m here to talk about football, guys,” Ford said.
