Boris Johnson's Political Future Hangs in the Balance Amid Partygate Scandal.

Boris Johnson will defend himself before the House of Commons Privileges Committee against the charge that he misled Parliament when he denied coronavirus lockdown rules were broken at a string of boozy parties held at 10 Downing Street. Johnson will tell the committee that he was told by his staff that no rules were broken and that when he realized those rules were broken he amended his remarks. The majority of Brits said they thought Johnson had knowingly misled Parliament. A judgment in the form of a report by the committee might not land until May, and Johnson could face sanction or a recall election.
