A fundraising effort is under way to help Vice-Admiral Mark Norman with his legal bills as he fights allegations by the RCMP that he leaked sensitive government information to ensure a navy supply ship was built. Retired army colonel Lee Hammond of Vancouver has set up a GoFundMe account with a goal of raising $50,000.
Hammond said he started the initiative after he learned the federal government had rejected a request from Norman for legal assistance because the Department of National Defence already considered him guilty of disclosing confidential information. Postmedia reported that development last week after receiving a leaked document outlining the rejection.
