Rustad says staff won't give RCMP 'blackmail' statement as leadership vote begins

Party staff allege that they are being blackmailed but do not want to provide a written statement to police, according to Rustad.
The involved staff prefer the issue to resolve quietly so they can continue their lives, as stated by Rustad.

Rustad will have to step down if his support falls below 50 percent during the leadership vote, which could last about six months.
