Instead, McBride, who recently started working at the State Security Agency, through his legal team, asked to be excused, saying he had not had enough time to brief the team he appointed last week. But his legal representative, advocate Katherine Harding, told the commission: “Mr McBride seeks to be excused from today’s proceedings because when he received notices [July 10] he was not in a position to advise legal representatives.“He then appointed legal representatives on July 23 to advise him on the notices and the scheduled cross-examinations and therefore he and his legal team require more time to consider new documents provided to him in the past few days.
