Newly released federal documents have revealed contradictions in the prime minister’s official story revolving the WE scandal.
These documents were released as a result of the prime minister’s controversial decision to prorogue parliament, effectively limiting the ability of parliamentary committees to consider the government’s role in the WE scandal.
Not only did these documents reveal that the $900 million contract was suggested by the Trudeau government, but it also details early PMO pressure and the fact that the WE organization made clear their closeness to the prime minister when they lobbied for a contract, according to the Toronto Star.
Jesus, finally. The truth is out:
-Proof that it was the Trudeau gov’t & not the public service who first put forth WE for the job.
-Proof of early PMO pressure
-Proof that WE leveraged relationships w Margaret & Sophie Trudeau to get the $#WEscandalhttps://t.co/XhrdnYTYxY pic.twitter.com/EaEfdFBE5M
