This 29–30 April 2015 email chain shows Robert Colvile contacting former Telegraph colleague Alan Philps after publication of BuzzFeed’s CEN article to ask about an alleged incident involving Mike Leidig and The Daily Telegraph. Colvile says BuzzFeed had published its CEN investigation and that “quite a lot of other stuff” about CEN and Leidig had since “come out of the woodwork”. He says BuzzFeed was keen to get the “full picture” both for a follow-up piece and to build an “ironclad defence” if Carter-Ruck launched legal action. Colvile then says various people had mentioned an incident involving Leidig and The Daily Telegraph that allegedly saw him “blacklisted by the foreign desk”, but that nobody could remember the details. The document is significant because it shows BuzzFeed actively looking for post-publication material to support or extend its case against Leidig, including older professional gossip that even the people raising it apparently could not clearly recall. The Telegraph issue appears to relate to the John Cleese incident referenced elsewhere, but the document itself shows the uncertainty: Colvile is not presenting a verified fact, but asking an old contact to help reconstruct a vague allegation. It is also important to distinguish the underlying relationship: Leidig was not on a Telegraph retainer, but had negotiated payment to cover syndication of his material. The email therefore captures BuzzFeed trying to turn a partly remembered industry story into potential follow-up and legal-defence material after publication, rather than treating the original article as already complete and properly evidenced.
