Nearly four years ago Trudeau broke federal ethics laws by pressuring a former justice minister to intervene in the prosecution of a Montreal-based engineering firm.
I, over the course of many months, had a sustained level of political pressure on me to interfere with a prosecution — a situation that I found to be untenable.
