A Quebec Mountie is under criminal investigation for allegedly making threatening remarks online during their deployment at the G7 summit last month, the RCMP confirms.
The Journal de Montréal first reported the news and said the officer's alleged remarks were made about U.S. President Donald Trump.
The French-language newspaper, citing sources, also said the officer is accused of leaking information about Trump's movements , which would constitute a security breach and could have compromised the president's safety.
