The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “‘Nothing to see here’, says Boris Johnson over Downing Street flat donations probe” – below is their description.
Boris Johnson has claimed there is nothing “to see here, or to worry about”, amid a trio of investigations into the funding of his refurbishment of the Downing Street flat.
The Electoral Commission yesterday announced a formal probe, saying there were grounds to suspect an offence may have been committed. Separately, the new ethics adviser Lord Geidt is undertaking a review, which will run in tandem with one being carried out by Simon Case, the Cabinet Secretary.
During a trip to a London school, Johnson said he would comply with whatever the Electoral Commission demands following its investigation.
