OTTAWA—Jody Wilson-Raybould joined her former cabinet colleagues at a meeting Tuesday — and later on the front benches of the House of Commons — just a day after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s top aide resigned after denying allegations he or anyone in the Prime Minister’s Office pressured the one-time justice minister over a criminal case.Wilson-Raybould largely maintained her public silence since quitting cabinet last week, saying only that she is still consulting her lawyer about what she can say publicly.She will have a chance to tell her at least part of her story in the coming days after Liberal MPs dropped their opposition to having Wilson-Raybould testify before the justice committee. “As I think people can appreciate or should appreciate, the rules and laws around privilege, around confidentiality, around my responsibility as a Member of Parliament, my ethical and professional responsibilities as a lawyer, are layered and incredibly complicated,” she said following the cabinet meeting, “so I’m still working with my lawyer.”Asked whether she was pressured by the Prime Minister’s Office, as the Globe and Mail reported based on unnamed sources, Wilson-Raybould said only that she was “still working with my lawyer.” But she was adamant that she remains a member of her party’s caucus, stating, “I am a Liberal Member of Parliament.”Read more:Opinion | Susan Delacourt: Here’s the downside of concentrating power in the Prime Minister’s OfficeWhy Jody Wilson-Raybould still isn’t talking about SNC-LavalinWhy now?
