OTTAWA — The federal justice department has deleted tweets posted to its official Twitter account after complaints from lawyers representing Vice-Admiral Mark Norman. The tweets addressed Norman’s legal team’s request for communications about the criminal case against the former vice-chief of the defence staff sent and received by former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould. On Monday in court, Henein told the judge that the defence had written to the justice department to complain about the messages. As of Monday the justice department has provided 2,438 documents to the judge, but has yet to hand over an additional 6,000. Justice department counsel told the judge on Monday that all of the “priority” documents requested by the defence have now been given to the judge.
