'El Chapo' Guzman: Sean Penn interview provokes US scorn
10 January 2016 US & Canada
The Obama administration and a US presidential hopeful have criticised Sean Penn's interview with Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
It was conducted in October in the Mexican jungle after Guzman's jail break, and published by Rolling Stone.
A White House spokesman said the Hollywood actor's "so-called interview" was "maddening", while Republican Marco Rubio said it was "grotesque".
Guzman, 58, was recaptured on Friday after months on the run.
Unnamed Mexican officials say Penn's secret meeting helped lead them to the boss of the Sinaloa drug cartel.
