Outgoing Liberal MP Andrew Leslie says lawyers have instructed him not to comment on reports he may be called as a defence witness in suspended Vice-Admiral Mark Norman's upcoming criminal trial.
CTV first reported Friday that Leslie could be called to the witness box to testify on behalf of Norman, who has been charged with one count of breach of trust for allegedly leaking government secrets in 2014-15.
Leslie previously served as a lieutenant-general in the Canadian Forces before retiring in 2011 and eventually running for the Liberals as a star candidate in the 2015 federal election.
