Boris Johnson ‘not dragging feet’ on WhatsApp disclosures after forgetting iPhone passcode
Politico says Boris Johnson’s team are pushing back at claims he’s “dragging his feet” in handing over messages to the U.K.’s official coronavirus inquiry as the former prime minister battles to … remember his iPhone passcode.
The Times reported Thursday that the ex-PM doesn’t remember with “100 percent confidence” the code to access his former device, which he stopped using in May 2021 amid security concerns.
There are concerns the device — held by Johnson’s lawyers — will automatically disable and potentially erase its contents if the wrong code is entered.
The U.K.’s COVID inquiry has requested all of Johnson’s pandemic WhatsApps and diaries.
