 Canadas former attorney general says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has told her shes been removed from the Liberal party caucus amid a scandal that has rocked Trudeaus government in an election year.

 Canada's former attorney general says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has told her she's been removed from the Liberal party caucus amid a scandal that has rocked Trudeau's government in an election year.
 Jody Wilson-Raybould tweeted Tuesday that Trudeau removed her from caucus and she will not be a Liberal candidate in the fall election.
 Trudeau and Liberal lawmakers were meeting Tuesday to discuss Wilson-Raybould after she publicized a secretly recorded conversation she had with Michael Wernick, Canada's top civil servant.
 Wilson-Raybould believes she was demoted from her role as attorney general and justice minister to minister of veterans' affairs because she didn't give in to pressure to enter into a remediation agreement with SNC Lavalin so that it would avoid a potentially crippling criminal prosecution.
 The scandal has led to multiple resignations and damaged the party for eight weeks.
 In a letter, Wilson-Raybould acknowledged her colleagues are enraged but said she was ``trying to help protect the Prime Minister and the government from a horrible mess.''
