What was said

"I'm the guy that went into Libya to convince Omar Gaddafi to release the two suspected terrorists to Panam Flight 103 to go on trial and they did."

Paul Mitchell and Patrón co-founder John Paul DeJoria says he travelled to Libya and persuaded “Omar Gaddafi” to release two suspects linked to the 1988 Pan Am Flight 103 bombing so they could stand trial. He presents the episode as part of a wider pattern of private diplomacy he says he has undertaken alongside his business and philanthropy.
