Njåstad was the leader of the progress party's organisasjonsutvalg in six years until last fall. Organisasjonsutvalget handles matters where there has been a breach of the conservative party's ethical regulations, and it was information from "a handful" of such cases Njåstad shared with a colleague.

I had a need to get some other eyes on difficult cases. When you have dilemmas to take a position, it can be okay to discuss with someone you are comfortable with. I shouldn't have done it, and I should not have shared documents. It was poor judgment, " said Njåstad to NRK.

Njåstad, says to Dagbladet that the information was shared with one partifelle, and that she did not go further with the information.

Demanding year
