Michael Jackson's extraordinary 1996 interrogation on abuse claims

Michael Jackson squirmed in his seat when he was asked on camera whether he's a pedophile in newly unearthed video footage obtained by DailyMailTV. Jackson, who at the time was 37, was quizzed by lawyers about allegations of child sexual abuse at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York City on March 1, 1996. Jackson giggles seconds after he was questioned on molesting allegations against youngsters Macaulay Culkin, Jordan Chandler and Brett Barnes. During the video Jackson compared himself to Jesus and ranted at how he's been misrepresented. The three hours of VHS tapes were filmed as part of a private lawsuit taken out by five Neverland employees against Jackson for wrongful dismissal. The footage comes as a doc with Jackson's former child companions Wade Robson and James Safechuck claim he sexually abused them at Neverland ranch.
