A lawyer for Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou has accused a Canadian border agent of fabricating testimony about how Canadian police obtained Meng's phone passwords on Thursday.

Meng's lawyer said Canadian police and border officers illegally gathered evidence against Meng on behalf of the U.S. FBI and emphasized that Meng should be released because of the alleged abuses of process.
