Briscoe trial told of talks with paper about Huhne 17 January 2014 Last updated at 16:02 Constance Briscoe was approached by a journalist investigating intimate details about Chris Huhne and Vicky Price, she claimed in a police interview played to a jury. In it she denies talking to the Mail on Sunday writer about the swapping of speeding points between the couple. Ms Briscoe says the reporter was asking her about two other stories concerning the ex-cabinet minister and his wife. The barrister denies intending to pervert the course of justice. Prosecutors at Southwark Crown Court have said Ms Briscoe, 56, of Clapham, a part-time judge, helped her friend Vicky Pryce reveal information to the press about swapping the points in 2003. The jury has heard that Ms Briscoe had then tried to mislead the police and the court during an investigation into her actions. In the interview with Kent Police in October 2012, Ms Briscoe claims that the journalist asked her if she knew about Ms Pryce breaking off her engagement to Mr Huhne after he allegedly admitted he had had a liaison with a man. She claims that the journalist told her that his paper had people in Europe trying to find out who the man was. Ms Briscoe, who declined legal advice, tells the police that she knew nothing about the story and was unable to assist the journalist. She also tells the police that she is volunteering this information because she is 'not having this bloody nonsense' about having perjured herself. Ms Briscoe was arrested in October 2012 after making two statements to police during the Huhne investigation in which she denied any dealings with newspapers over the point-swapping story and allegedly misrepresented her relationship with Pryce.
