British Prime Minister Boris Johnson did not know “specific allegations” about Chris Pincher before appointing him deputy chief whip, a Cabinet minister has said after the MP was suspended over sexual misconduct allegations.
Pincher, MP for Tamworth, resigned from the whips’ office on Thursday after The Sun reported that he had “groped” two male guests at the Carlton Club, a Conservative Party private members’ club in London’s Piccadilly, on Wednesday evening.
