Senator Linda Reynolds has been accused of attempting to “coach” defence lawyers during the cross-examination of her former staffer Brittany Higgins and inappropriately seeking to obtain transcripts of her evidence prior to coming to court.
Reynolds on Monday began her evidence to the ACT supreme court, which has previously heard allegations from Higgins that she felt pressure from her then minister not to pursue a police complaint over her alleged rape at the hands of colleague and fellow Coalition staffer Bruce Lehrmann.
