OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Stephen Harpers former chief of Staff Nigel Wright has been cleared by the RCMP. The Mounties alleged in court documents last fall that they believed Wright had committed bribery, fraud and breach of trust when he gave a sitting senator Mike Duffy a secret $90,000 payment to repay inappropriate housing expenses. The Ethics Commissioners office confirmed to the Huffington Post Canada that the RCMP was no longer investigating Wright and would not be laying any criminal charges against him. The Commons ethics watchdog Mary Dawson said she is reviewing whether to reopen her probe into Wrights actions and would not comment further at this time.
