The chief prosecutor in the trial of Bruce Lehrmann said it was not improper for him to raise the possibility of a political conspiracy but concedes he should have been clearer that he no longer held those views in relation to the case.
The ACT director of public prosecutions, Shane Drumgold SC, is the first witness at an independent inquiry investigating the prosecution of Lehrmann, who was accused of sexually assaulting Brittany Higgins.
