Simon Bridges gives evidence in court

From Morning Report, 8:20 am on 11 August 2022

Former National Party leader Simon Bridges has given evidence in a trial over alleged concealed donations to the party, agreeing Jami-Lee Ross went "full kamikaze".

Seven people including Ross are defending charges related to electoral fraud.

The High Court in Auckland is hearing how the relationship between the pair fractured shortly after Bridges took up the party leader post in 2018.

Amy Williams filed this report.
