Kim Swan's statement in full
“On two occasions when questioned by Mr Gary Moreno during a television interview, I confirmed that a controversial document which ‘rocked’ the United Bermuda Party following the 2007 general election existed.“For the avoidance of doubt, this is not, the document that appears on the internet.“For the record, I have always been a party member who refrained from discussing party business in the public domain but when threats of legal action directed at journalists were accompanied by a letter on behalf of Mr Penczner — denying that such a document even existed — I felt it my duty to set the record straight.“On February 5, 2008, I received a PDF document — now deemed controversial — from Mr Marius Penczner and in that regard, I am satisfied that the document Mr Gary Moreno shared with the public is the same as the document that I received which ‘rocked the United Bermuda Party’.“It is bizarre that the OBA Leader (who was not involved in politics in 2008) can claim in The Royal Gazette on November 30th that a report given to the United Bermuda Party (which he was never a member) is a fake!“For the record and for clarity, there was a Penczner Report, its contents influenced and ultimately rocked the UBP.”
