The most crucial question in a political scandal is often who knew what and when? Sturgeon will be pressed about her knowledge of complaints about her one-time mentor, whom she calls “closer to me than probably any other person outside my family for the past 30 years”

To recap, Salmond was charged with 14 offences between 2008 and 2014, including sexual assault and attempted rape, against nine women. Having argued that he was “no saint” but not a criminal, he was ultimately acquitted last year
