KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak told the High Court that it would be “totally insane” for him to seek evidence from a United States court to bolster his defence in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial if he did not believe it would exonerate him.

“If I were complicit in the defrauding of 1MDB, it would have been totally insane for me to ask for this evidence from the courts, because that would implicate me. I would be insane to have done it,” he said yesterday.
