It’s the first time in recent memory a sitting premier will be on the stand in a case resulting from police charges. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne testified today in Sudbury in a bribery trial involving a former top adviser and a Liberal fundraiser. Pat Sorbara, Kathleen Wynne’s former Deputy Chief of Staff and Liberal campaign director, and Gerry Lougheed, a local Liberal organizer, are charged under the Election Act.

We break things down with Conservative MPP Monte McNaughton.
