LONDON (Reuters) – Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday dismissed a parliamentary report into whether he deliberately misled the House of Commons as a “charade”.
“This report is a charade,” he said in a statement published at the same time as the report.
“The committee now says that I deliberately misled the House, and at the moment I spoke I was consciously concealing from the House my knowledge of illicit events.
“This is rubbish. It is a lie.”
