Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said an 'erosion of trust' and 'lack of communication' with his former justice minister led her to quit and accuse him of pressuring her in a corruption prosecution — a dispute that has shaken his government.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks to the media in Ottawa, Ontario, on Thursday. A former justice minister has accused him of applying inappropriate pressure in a corruption prosecution.

But the prime minister made no apologies as he discussed the issue at a nationally televised news conference.Former Justice Minister and Atty. Gen. Jody Wilson-Raybould told a parliamentary committee last week that Trudeau and senior officials tried to pressure her into instructing prosecutors to avoid criminal prosecution of Montreal-based engineering giant SNC-Lavalin and instead require it to pay fines over allegations of bribery in Libya.

Trudeau and his aides deny doing anything wrong, saying they were only pointing out that prosecution could endanger thousands of people’s jobs because a conviction would make the company ineligible for government contracts for a decade. The company is a major employer in Quebec, with about 3,400 employees in the province, 9,000 employees in Canada and more than 50,000 worldwide.

Justin Trudeau scandal: Canadian media compares prime minister’s actions to Donald Trump’s“On its face, Trudeau is accused of the same malfeasance attributed to Trump—meddling in the wheels of justice for political gain,” Canada's The National Post wrote in an analysis. Ridiculous Only Canada appears to be calling him out on his deeds! Except the only thing Trump has done is send out angry tweets.
