Unlike Trump, Trudeau Is In Real Trouble

Former Canadian Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould testified before the House Justice Committee alleging that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and others in his administration pressured her in "Inappropriate" ways to reach a settlement with an engineering company that has been charged with crimes.

According to Wilson-Raybould's testimony, she faced "Consistent and sustained," efforts by the Trudeau administration, as well as "Veiled threats," in an attempt to influence her decision regarding Lavalin.

Unlike the slow moving investigation into Trump, the Trudeau scandal has unfurled remarkably quickly.

In her testimony yesterday, Wilson-Raybould discussed meetings with Trudeau and others from late last year.

Yesterday's testimony from one of his former cabinet ministers and a member of his own party has flung the Trudeau administration into a full-fledged crisis.

With a general election looming in October, Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer said that Trudeau has "Lost the moral authority to lead," and should resign.

Just three weeks into the Lavalin scandal, Trudeau has been badly damaged.
