Justin Trudeau denied a report that members of his staff urged Canada’s former justice minister to intervene in a legal case involving SNC-Lavalin Group Inc.

“Neither the current nor the previous attorney general was ever directed by me or by anyone in my office to take a decision in this matter,’’ the prime minister told reporters Thursday after a transit announcement in Vaughan, north of Toronto.
