A Liberal staffer who resigned in disgrace after splashing the lurid details of a Conservative cabinet minister's messy divorce all over Twitter in response to the Harper government's Internet snooping bill has resurfaced with the party.
Former Parliament Hill aide Adam Carroll is now working at Liberal party headquarters. But a spokeswoman wouldn't divulge any details about his new gig, first reported Thursday by the Huffington Post Canada.
"Our policy for all staff is that we simply do not comment on personnel," Sarah Bain said in an email.
A steady stream of tweets disclosing details of Public Safety Minister Vic Toews's divorce file spurred political intrigue on Parliament Hill this year.
Carroll quit his job in the Liberal research bureau once he was identified as the source of the account, and interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae apologized to Toews in the House of Commons.
The minister's office accused the Liberals of knowing all along that Carroll was behind Vikileaks.
"This dramatic reversal by the Liberal party suggests that Carroll acted with the full knowledge and consent of the senior ranks of the Liberal party," Toews spokesman Mike Mueller said.
