OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says several current and former Conservative parliamentarians are either engaged in or targets of foreign interference as he lambasted the federal Conservative leader for refusing to get top-level security clearance.

In a statement, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre accused Trudeau of “lying” and called on him to release the redacted names of Parliamentarians alleged by a review committee to have wittingly or unwittingly acted on behalf of a foreign country.
