LONDON − Boris Johnson, the previous British Prime-Minister, lied to Parliament approximately what he knew approximately events & meetings with alcohol at his Downing Street workplace and home in relevant London while COVID infections have been skyrocketing and the entire country was on a strict covid19 lockdown.

This is what a protracted-awaited 30,000-phrase examine says. It was released Thursday by seven lawmakers from the House of Commons’ so-called privileges committee, which looks into claims of wrongdoing in parliament.

The harsh report said that Johnson’s actions were planned, that he showed “serious contempt of the House,” and that he did this over and over again on an issue that was very important to the House and the public.

The record additionally stated that Johnson turned into “complicit” in a “marketing campaign of abuse and attempted intimidation of the committee” and that his actions amounted to a “attack on our democratic establishments.” These are extreme accusations a good way to be tough to shake, even for a savvy and proficient political maverick like Johnson, who is regularly in comparison to any other former world chief, Donald Trump, for his capacity to make a comeback.

In a statement, Liberal Democrat opposition member Daisy Cooper stated, “It has never befell earlier than that a former top minister become found to have damaged the regulation and lied again and again.”

Boris Johnson lied to the House of Commons. What’s next?

The investigation into Johnson’s actions is very important, but it won’t have any legal implications. If he was still in office, he could have been suspended for 90 days. But he’s not, so it doesn’t matter. Johnson quit before the report came out, saying that there was a “witch hunt” going on to “get back at Brexit and try to change the 2016 referendum result.” He was referring to Britain’s controversial vote to leave the European Union, which he supported.

In a declaration released on Thursday, Johnson said that the report “twisted the fact” and that its consequences were the “final knife-thrust in an extended-jogging political assassination that is past contempt.”

In Britain, there may be a separate public inquiry into how Johnson’s government treated the pandemic. Witnesses are giving statements approximately how the situation made them feel, and the investigation is predicted to remaining for the subsequent six weeks.

Our World in Data says that after the pandemic turned into at its worst, Britain had one of the maximum COVID death quotes in the international. Johnson’s measures eased restrictions a long time before many different European countries did.

Johnson hasn’t been told he can’t run for office again as a member. He might not be looking for a job right away: Since he left office last year, the British press has said that he has made a lot of money by making speeches.

All the world leaders are in court, being charged, or having hearings.

Still, Johnson isn’t the only current or past world leader who has been in the hot seat lately because of a court case, hearing, or legal investigation of some kind.

Former President Donald Trump is in a lot of trouble with the law.

On June 14, he was charged by the Department of Justice with possible wrongdoing with classified papers. He said he wasn’t guilty of all 37 of the charges against him. In March, Trump was also charged with 34 felonies, including paying “hush money” to a former adult film star named Stormy Daniels. He said he wasn’t guilty of all of those things. In a separate federal case, he is being looked into for his part in an uprising at the Capitol on January 6. In a Georgia investigation, he is being looked into for trying to change the results of the 2020 election in that state.

Age and the charge: Poll: Both Biden and Trump have a lot going against them with voters.

Allegations of corruption against Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of Israel, have been going on for a long time. He was charged with bribery, theft, and breaking the public’s trust in 2019. His trial is still going on.

On the 75th anniversary of their country, Israelis want to know, “Is this still a democracy?”

Other world leaders who have been charged or imprisoned include:

  • South Korea’s former president, Park Geun-hye (allegations of corruption and influence peddling);
  • Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Argentina’s former leader (corruptions allegations and claims of treason, later dropped, over allegedly covering up Iran’s role in the bombing of a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires);
  • And former French President Nicolas Sarkozy (alleged bribery and corruption).

COVID rules were also broken by other well-known American politicians, like Johnson:

  • California Governor Gavin Newsom had dinner with his wife at the fancy French Laundry restaurant in the Napa Valley when COVID infections were on the rise in his state and people were being told to be extra careful and avoid events they didn’t need to be at. Later, Newsom said that the choice was a “bad mistake.”
  • When Nancy Pelosi was House Speaker, she went to a hair shop in San Francisco without a face mask, which was against the city’s COVID rules at the time. Pelosi said that she had been “set-up.”
