PM aware of some claims about Chris Pincher in February, No 10 admits
The Guardian says BORIS JOHNSON was aware of some allegations relating to Chris Pincher when the MP for Tamworth was appointed deputy chief whip in February, Downing Street has admitted.
No 10 conceded that Johnson was aware of allegations that were “either resolved or did not proceed to a formal complaint” in relation to Pincher, who resigned last week over reports that he drunkenly groped two men in a London club.
