Nicola Sturgeon said her husband Peter Murrell being charged by police in connection with embezzlement of funds from the SNP had been “incredibly difficult”.
Speaking to reporters outside her Glasgow home, the former first minister of Scotland was asked how the development had impacted her.
She said: “It has been incredibly difficult but that is not the main issue here.
“I can’t say anymore, I am not going to say anymore, and if you don’t mind, I’d also really appreciate, I’m still quite a new driver so please try not to distract me when I am driving away.”
Her comments came as Humza Yousaf, her successor as first minister, said the SNP was in “shock” at the news.
The police probe into the SNP’s funding and finances remains ongoing.
Mr Murrell, the SNP’s former chief executive, was taken into custody yesterday morning and was charged in the early evening. He was then released from police custody. It is understood he has resigned his SNP membership.
