Why Boris Johnson's apartment renovations have landed him in the political doghouse
CNN
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will face a formal investigation into the funding of renovations to his Downing Street apartment, after the country's political spending watchdog said there are "reasonable grounds" to suspect that an offense may have occurred.
Johnson has been under pressure for several days to explain how he paid for the upgrade to the flat, with British news outlets reporting that the work cost around £200,000 ($280,000). The saga was elevated last week when Dominic Cummings, Johnson's former closest ally, leveled accusations of "unethical, foolish, (and) possibly illegal" behavior against his old boss, claiming he discussed plans to have Conservative Party donors pay for the refurbishments.More Related News
