'Trudeau is liability': Senior adviser to Canada's PM has resigned in an ongoing corruption scandal

A senior adviser to Canada's prime minister, Justin Trudeau, has resigned in an ongoing corruption scandal.

Michael Wernick is the fourth senior official to step down over Trudeau's alleged interference in a bribery case involving SNC-Lavalan, one of the world's largest engineering and construction firms.

In 2015 the company was charged with bribery and fraud in Libya. It allegedly paid 98 million dollars in bribes to Gaddafi-era officials, to secure lucrative contracts, including the world's biggest irrigation project. The firm claims that all the people implicated in the case, have since left the company.
