Native politician awaits trial for domestic violence incident

Patrick Brazeau, a Native politician from Quebec, faces a trial later this year for a domestic violence incident.

Brazeau, who is Algonquin, was charged with assault and sexual assault charges for an incident at his home in Gatineau, Quebec. He has pleaded not guilty.

A judge granted a delay in the case so Brazeau's defense team can look over police evidence. His next court date is October 9.

Brazeau was placed on forced leave from Canada's Senate after he was indicted. On a separate matter, he was investigated in connection with his living expenses but he has denied wrongdoing.
