That according to the Mario Dion, the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, in connection to the SNC-Lavalin affair.
In a report released yesterday, Dion says the Prime Minister directed his senior staff to push the Attorney General to use the new deferred prosecution agreement in the criminal matter.
Dion goes on to say that Justin Trudeau was the only person who could have exerted influence on the then-Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould.
She later was shuffled to Veteran’s Affairs before eventually resigning.

On the day the SNC scandal broke Trudeau said the story was false – and he spent months repeatedly and flagrantly misleading Canadians, shutting down inquiries, and covering up the truth. Now we know he has found guilty by the Ethics Commissioner. He is not as advertised. pic.twitter.com/uM90OszaoC
