Boris Johnson, Britain's former prime minister, has been referred to the police for new possible violation of Covid lockdown rules, the British government told CNN
Documents dealing with the potential breach have been passed on to the London Metropolitan Police and Thames Valley Police, a government source told CNN, adding, “it is now a matter for them.” Thames Valley Police confirmed it had received the documents in a statement, saying it related to “potential breaches” at Chequers, the official countryside home of the sitting British prime minister, “between June 2020 and May 2021.
” “For whatever political purpose, it is plain that a last-ditch attempt is being made to lengthen the Privileges Committee investigation as it was coming to a conclusion and to undermine Mr Johnson,” the statement to PA Media said. “The events in question were all within the rules either because they were held outdoors or came within another lawful exception. They include regular meetings with civil servants and advisers,” the PA reported.
