1MDB trial: Najib sought evidence from US court to bolster defence


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak had sought evidence from a United States court to bolster his defence in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial at the risk of implicating himself, the High Court told.

Najib, 71, testified that it would have been "totally insane" for him to attempt the evidence if he did not believe it would exonerate him.
