Nigel Wright: Sources told s Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife that back in February, Benjamin Perrin helped draft the letter of understanding that called for Duffy to publicly declare that he would repay the money. In return, sources say, Wright would give a personal cheque to Duffy to cover the $90,000. Sources say the agreement also stipulated that a Senate investigation into expense claims would go easy on Duffy, according to CTV. The PMO also declined to release the letter of agreement, saying it is now in the hands of Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson, who is investigating Wrights $90,000 cheque to Duffy and Prime Minister Stephen Harpers former special counsel and legal adviser worked on the legal deal between Nigel Wright and Sen. Mike Duffys lawyer that called for Wright to help Duffy pay off $90,000 in invalid expense claims, News has learned. The Prime Ministers Office insists that neither Perrin nor Wright told Harper about the payout to Duffy or about any aspects of the secret arrangement.
