PNM seeks Privileges probe into AG’s ‘hot mic’ remark

Click to view full size

The People’s National Movement (PNM) plans to refer Attorney General John Jeremie to Parliament’s Privileges Committee over comments he made during a “hot mic” moment in the Lower House on November 21.

The party said consideration is being given to taking similar action against Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar after she threatened to “cuff down” Diego Martin North/East MP Colm Imbert during the same sitting.

But the Prime Minister is firing back, saying, “Let them bring it on, we are ready.”
