Alex Salmond inquiry LIVE: Ex-FM claims Nicola Sturgeon KNEW about complaints against him before their meeting
ALEX Salmond claims Nicola Sturgeon KNEW about complaints against him before their meeting on April 2, 2018.
The former First Minister is currently giving evidence to a Scottish Parliament committee probing the government’s botched investigation into harassment claims about him in 2018.
Mr Salmond has also accused the Scottish Government of an “obstruction of justice” over a failure to hand over key documents to prosecutors.
He branded the censoring of his written evidence “intolerable” – and says it would not have happened at Westminster.
The former SNP chief is laying out his evidence in person and attempting to persuade the committee – and the nation – that there was a plot against him.
Nicola Sturgeon is expected to give evidence at the Holyrood inquiry next Wednesday in the final evidence session of the inquiry before it finishes its report.
The inquiry started at 12:30pm this afternoon from Holyrood – you can watch it live in the video above or here.
