Dotcom confirms Peters' visit

Kim Dotcom has confirmed NZ First leader Winston Peters has visited him, saying on Twitter Mr Peters had not answered questions about it because they had agreed on confidentiality.

Mr Dotcom tweeted this morning after Mr Peters repeatedly refused to confirm or deny yesterday that he had visited Mr Dotcom, saying it was a private matter.

That followed claims by Prime Minister John Key that Peters had visited three times.

Mr Dotcom tweeted "Winston Peters didn't answer questions about his visit because we agreed on confidence. I released him from this confidence now."

He followed that up by saying Mr Key should be asked how he knew about three visits.

"Only 4 people knew about it & probably Ian Fletcher at the GCSB."
