KUALA LUMPUR: A war of words broke out between former second finance minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah and lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah in the RM2.28bil 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial, causing the hearing to be temporarily stopped on Wednesday (June 22) morning.

Ahmad Husni was on the witness stand at the High Court on Wednesday for a cross-examination by Muhammad Shafee, who represented former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak where he (Ahmad Husni) was asked about letters relating to 1MDB that were signed by him.
