Government journalist @althiaraj, a pundit on Trudeau’s CBC state broadcaster, wrote a loving book about Trudeau & Butts. Strangely, she wasn’t investigated for that. But she was leaked information about my book case. Now she’s threatening to sue me, just like CBC’s @rosiebarton. pic.twitter.com/EZ96GrGXRo
