Following Special Rapporteur David Johnston’s report on foreign interference that claimed an allegation against former Liberal MP Han Dong was false, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hinted he is open to the now-Independent MP rejoining the party.

“Han Dong chose to step away from caucus so that he could clear his name; so that he could continue to serve his community while he was fighting the allegations laid against him. Mr. Johnston was very clear about the non-substance of those allegations,” Trudeau told reporters during a press conference in Winnipeg on May 24.
