CTV News Ottawa bureau chief Robert "Bob" Fife breaks news like you breakfast — every damn day.
Fife broke the news that Senator Mike Duffy received a cheque for $90,000 from Nigel Wright to cover questionable residency expenses he had claimed. Wright was at the time the chief of staff for Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
