BREAKING: Gerald Butts releases text conversations with Wilson-Raybould cdnpoli
In the documents Butts submitted to the House Justice Committee, obtained by CTV News ahead of their public release, he reiterates his “strong disagreement” with some of evidence Wilson-Raybould has provided to the committee so far.
The text messages he provided show that Wilson-Raybould felt she was being moved out of the justice portfolio because of her stance on the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin, and that Butts repeatedly told her that is not why the cabinet shuffle was being done.
