Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a 2010 radio interview described David Johnston as a frequent dinner companion with whom he had “great conversations,” despite both men having downplayed their personal relationship as insignificant in the scope of Johnston’s investigation into foreign interference in his role as special rapporteur.
“We had great conversations around dinner tables around all sorts of things. I always respected him as a man who was very personable, very real and very, very smart,” Trudeau told CBC Radio in an interview, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
