Corruption? Political shenanigans?Prosecutors allege vice-admiral, who faces breach of trust charge, disclosed classified info to shipyard execsLawyers defending Vice-Admiral Mark Norman have taken aim at one of the Liberal government's senior cabinet ministers in a court filing, alleging political interference in the program to deliver an interim supply ship to the navy.
