NZ HERALD: Peters/Glenn saga wrap



A wrap of yesterday and this mornings coverage of the Peters/Glenn Donation saga from the New Zealand Herald. 


Including breaking stories and new information about Labour Party president Mike Williams deeper involvement.


Dramatic damning evidence against Winston Peters was provided by Owen Glenn yesterday.


Phone records, affidavits and written evidence backing Glenn's continued claims that he gave $100,000 to Peters and that Peters had been aware of that donation back in 2005 when he solicited it,  in July 2008, as he has ascertained.


Today Peters will give his rejoinder to the Privileges Committee to Glenn's statements made yesterday and he will have to spin and or fight the hardest he has ever fought for his political future.
