DEFENDING MENG WANZHOU

 VANCOUVER — A former adviser to the U.S. State Department says the American government omitted key statements by Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in order to support its extradition case against her.

The U.S. used a presentation Meng made to HSBC in 2013 to allege that she lied about Huawei's relationship to Skycom, putting the bank at risk of breaking American sanctions against Iran.

An affidavit filed in B.C. Supreme Court by Meng's lawyers from John Bellinger, a lawyer who advised the administration of former president George W. Bush, says the U.S. left out that Meng clearly told the bank that Huawei worked with Skycom in Iran.
