After also being forbidden from seeking any Liberal nomination in any riding for the 2015 federal election, Christine Innes launched a defamation suit against Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and David MacNaughton, co-chair of Trudeau’s Ontario campaign team.
Innes, a Liberal staffer at Queen’s Park, alleged Trudeau and MacNaughton defamed her by accusing her and her campaign team of employing “bullying and intimidation” tactics and claimed $1.5 million in damages to her reputation. Her husband, former Liberal member of Parliament and cabinet minister Tony Ianno, joined the suit soon after, claiming an additional $1.5 million in damages.
