OTTAWA — A former intern in Mike Duffy’s office who now works for the prime minister has testified she got a $500 cheque from a company run by a friend of the suspended senator.<\/p>\n

Ashley Cain tells Duffy’s trial that a connection helped her in 2010 to get the internship, during which she spent a few hours each week helping to open the mail and file business cards.<\/p>\n

Cain says she took the job with the understanding it was unpaid, but about midway through her time, Duffy said he would find a way to pay her for her good work.<\/p>\n

She then received a cheque for $500 from Maple Ridge Media, a company run by Duffy’s friend Gerald Donohue.<\/p>\n

She says she didn’t know the company or Donohue, but assumed the cheque was the money Duffy talked about.<\/p>\n

Duffy faces 31 charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery and the Crown alleges that he filtered money through Donohue’s company to get around Senate expense rules.<\/p>\n

Duffy defence lawyer Donald Bayne argues that the work Cain did was legitimate Senate business.<\/p>\n

Cain testified, however, that she never signed any employment forms or passed a security clearance, which the court was told earlier were requirements for Senate workers.<\/p>\n

Cain is the third witness to testify for the Crown since the trial began last week.<\/p>\n

Unlike the previous two, who were on the stand for days, Cain’s testimony took less than an hour.<\/p>\n
