Toronto’s police chief says investigators have recovered a digital video file that shows Rob Ford in a situation that is consistent with images described in recent media reports.
Last May, Gawker and the Toronto Star published reports about a video that allegedly shows Ford smoking crack cocaine from a glass pipe. The alleged video has not surfaced.
In response to the allegations, Ford said he does not use crack cocaine and he denied the video's existence.
At a news conference Thursday, Chief Bill Blair would not describe the video's contents or Ford's actions in the video, but he admitted he is "disappointed" by the discovery.
“I think as a citizen of Toronto I’m disappointed,” Blair added moments later, saying the controversy is a “traumatic” issue for Toronto residents and the city’s image.
