Isn't he just trying to skate through with semantics and technicalities? He said this:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Sunday that he hasn't been briefed by security agencies on any federal election candidates receiving funding from China amid reports of Chinese interference in Canadian elections.

Which specifically refers only to campaign funding coming from China. So it's totally possible he was actually never briefed on that specific thing (I don't think there have been specific allegations of that happening) and he worded it specifically like that so he could technically be telling the truth while giving the impression of a broader denial.
