Johnston did not interview Han Dong for foreign interference report
“We, I think, interviewed the people who had information about these particular matters,” Johnston responded.
In March, Global reported that Dong discussed China’s detention of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor with a senior Chinese diplomat in February 2021, and, “privately advised … that Beijing should hold off freeing Kovrig and Spavor.”Dong strongly denied the allegations, stepped down from Liberal caucus, and is now suing Global News.
After the report was released, Dong suggested it was “vindication” that he did nothing wrong. Trudeau suggested that Dong may rejoin Liberal caucus, but that now appears to depend on LeBlanc’s review.
