Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has denied lying to the United Kingdom’s parliament during a televised deposition part of an inquiry into the so-called “Partygate” scandal.
After taking an oath on the Bible, Johnson told a parliamentary standards committee that everything he had told the legislators regarding the gatherings held in 10 Downing Street during the COVID-19 pandemic was done “in good faith and based on what I honestly believed at the time”.
