Says the Liberal source: "He is obviously a manipulative gentleman who used that relationship. But the truth is, no one really knows the nature of the relationship between Berejiklian and Maguire. Some of the secretly recorded phone conversations between the pair have been deemed so deeply personal they have not been played in open court, only in private sessions of the ICAC.
What kind of relationship was this, exactly?
