The Canadian Civil Liberties Association is calling for a police investigation into bombshell allegations that Justin Trudeau’s office interfered in the criminal case against SNC-Lavalin.
Trudeau denied the report at a Thursday morning press conference in Vaughan, “The allegations in the Globe story this morning are false,” he said. “Neither the current nor the previous attorney general was ever directed by me or by anyone in my office to take a decision in this matter.”
However, the Globe didn’t report that a direct request was made only that Wilson-Raybould faced “heavy pressure.”
Asked about that distinction, Trudeau repeated his original comment, and didn’t rule out that his office pressured the attorney general. Wilson-Raybould has not commented on the allegations.
