While the documents would ‘no doubt be valuable to Meng in a trial,’ the judge says, they don’t expressly state Meng’s conclusion, which can only be reached through inferences

Supreme Court judge says she won’t allow proposed new evidence in Meng Wanzhou’s extradition case because it doesn’t “expressly” support the Huawei executive’s claim that the United States’ case against her is “manifestly unreliable.”
Meng is wanted in the United States on allegations that she misled HSBC about Huawei’s relationship with another company, putting the bank at risk of violating U.S. sanctions against Iran - charges that both she and Huawei deny.Meng’s legal team argued that the documents undermine the allegations of fraud against Meng, proving the United States misled the court in its summary to Canada of the case against her.
Holmes says in the ruling that while the documents would “no doubt be valuable to Meng in a trial,” they don’t expressly state Meng’s conclusion, which can only be reached through inferences. The documents are also not capable of showing that the inferences made by the United States in its summary of allegations against Meng were unreasonable, she says.
