Vicky Pryce wanted to expose Chris Huhne as bisexual in media, court hears "I would describe my attitude to Mr Huhne by saying back at the time, I had taken the view that he was lying when he said he hadn't put Vicky down for the points, because I knew about it in 2003," Briscoe said. I thought he was a hypocrite because I saw him on telly and in the papers saying it hadn't happened and it had. I thought that he was someone in Cabinet who seemed to have one rule for himself and another for others and I took the view it was in the public interest for him to have to give an account, really, of what he did and I thought that was a good thing. Briscoe also recounted the stress and "mayhem" associated with Pryce's inept media-management. She said: "Her concern was that she wanted to be able to talk about her life and the speeding, but not be identified herself as the source. The other thing was she was very interested that in relation to anything scandalous that she was going to provide about her husband, it should be provided without the Mail on Sunday identifying her. "In particular, she wanted to publish information about Chris Huhne being bisexual and all of that"She was very concerned about the children and how they would react if she was the one who was putting out this information about their dad." Ultimately, it proved impossible for Pryce to keep her identity concealed as media interest intensified. Briscoe said: "She was in a state, she feared being unmasked and she wanted me to tell her what to do." Huhne and his former wife were both jailed for eight months last year, after Pryce took his speeding points more than a decade ago. Since their release, Huhne has written columns for The Guardian newspaper, while Pryce wrote a book about her prison experiences. According to reports she has now resumed her role on a panel advising Business Secretary Vince Cable on the economy. Briscoe denies three counts of perverting the course of justice. She denies perverting the course of justice and has told how she was "deeply distressed" by the claims. The first charge alleges she provided police with two inaccurate statements between May 16, 2011 and October 6, 2012, in which she denied her contact with the media. The second charge accuses her of altering her witness statement by adding a single letter 'I' and a full stop, in order to distort its meaning. In the third allegation, she is accused of putting this 'altered' document before an expert in handwriting, deceiving the academic into believing it had not been tampered with.
