Nigel Wright testifies Mike Duffy’s trial
OTTAWA – Stephen Harper’s former chief of staff, Nigel Wright, has begun his testimony at the trial of embattled Sen. Mike Duffy.
Wright arrived at the Ottawa courthouse in a taxi to face a crush of cameras.
He strode past a throng of reporters with his lawyer, Peter Mantas, before taking the stand to tell his long-awaited story in a courtroom debut that’s expected to be rich in legal and political drama.
Clad in a slim dark suit and striped tie, the lawyer and businessman smiled politely at times as he made his way into the building but declined to comment about the case.
