Toronto Mayor Ford to testify in removal challenge
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is set to testify in court on Sept. 5 over allegations he violated conflict of interest rules in a case that could ultimately see him removed from office.
Ford is facing allegations he violated conflict of interest rules by participating in a council vote that absolved his need to pay back more than $3,000 in donations collected for his private football charity.
