Boris Johnson is set to publish new evidence that exonerates him in the case of parties during the COVID-19 pandemic, a British newspaper has reported, citing sources. According to reports, the evidence will include messages from the former Prime Minister’s advisers telling him that no rules were broken over the holidays. Johnson will testify before the House of Commons Privileges Committee on March 22. The scandal erupted after it emerged that several social gatherings had been held at Johnson’s offices throughout 2020 and 2021, flouting COVID-19 social distancing rules. The situation was aggravated by reports that two more parties took place on April 16 last year, the day before Prince Philip’s funeral, while the UK was still maintaining COVID-19 restrictions and was in National mourning. Johnson later apologized and said he had paid the fine issued by the Metropolitan Police. Johnson became prime minister in July 2019 and resigned in September 2022 following multiple scandals over parties at his office during the COVID-19 shutdowns.
