'I couldn't quite believe the news' - Humza Yousaf
Scotland's First Minister made the comments in an interview with Holyrood magazine, published on Monday. Mr Yousaf was asked about what he thought when he found out Nicola Sturgeon's husband had been arrested.
Mr Murrell was released without charge pending further investigation. Mr Yousaf, who took over from Ms Sturgeon as both First Minister and SNP party leader in March, said he was "only in control of what I'm in control of" and that the "government side of things has gone quite well" since he took office.
"No, I don't feel betrayal. Frustration, for sure. Not betrayal. But frustration over issues that started even before the election contest finished with the membership numbers debacle, it just didn't have to happen and led to a whole disruption within the party.
