For the first time since "El Chapo" Guzman was recaptured by Mexican Police, Sean Penn has spoken about his meeting with him.
Mexican officials said Penn's October interview helped in their search for Guzmán, who had escaped from a maximum security prison in the summer of 2015, and had been on the run ever since.
However, during a Thursday interview with CBS that will air in full on Sunday, Penn defended the interview and said there is no way it had any influence over Guzmán's capture. on the run ever since.
Penn said,
" There is this myth about the visit that we made There is this myth about the visit that we made, my colleagues and I with El Chapo, that it was ? as the Attorney General of Mexico is quoted ? 'essential' to his capture. We had met with him many weeks earlier...on Oct. 2, in a place nowhere near where he was captured."
He added, "I have a regret that the entire discussion about this article ignores its purpose, which was to try to contribute to this discussion about the policy in the War on Drugs. My article failed."
