This time it is Ms Sturgeon in the dock over alleged Ministerial Code breaches, including over whether she misled parliament. She initially said Mr Salmond first told her of the allegations against him at her home on April 2, 2018. On Friday, Mr Salmond insisted this was not a mere slip, but a potentially career-ending breach of the Ministerial Code. Mr Salmond has said he is the victim of a 'prolonged, malicious' conspiracy by senior SNP and government figures. Sources close to Mr Salmond believe his evidence to Mr Hamilton will be more devastating than when he faced the committee.
