The CPC has confirmed that party funds were used to pay Duffy's legal expenses (i.e. the $13k cheque). I'm sure that will sit well with donors to the party.
Quote:
Later on Monday, the communications director for the Conservative Party told CBC News it had paid Duffy's legal fees.
"At the time these legal expenses were incurred and paid, Mike Duffy was a member of the Conservative caucus," Cory Hann wrote.
"The Conservative party sometimes assists members of caucus with legal expenses."
Duffy himself said the funds for his legal fees came from party donors to make an embarrassing political situation go away.
