Canada’s former attorney general has resigned from Justin Trudeau’s cabinet amid a report she was pressured by the prime minister’s office to intervene in a legal case involving SNC-Lavalin Group Inc.
Jody Wilson-Raybould announced her resignation Tuesday, after days of saying she couldn’t comment on work she did as the government’s chief lawyer. She was moved from the justice ministry to veterans affairs last month.
