Amber Heard’s lawyer stated that his client will cooperate in the investigation.
“Amber Heard remains willing and able to support the authenticity of her evidence, and her IT forensics expert has cooperated in this effort,” he said. “In sharp contrast, Mr Depp has been unable to produce even the audio tapes from which he leaked a partial out-of-context portion, much less any support for the authenticity of any of his evidence.”
