The U.K.’s Electoral Commission announced an investigation into allegations that Prime Minister Boris Johnson had Conservative Party donors “secretly pay” for a renovation of his apartment at No. 11 Downing Street, the Times of London reports.
Axios: “It’s unprecedented for a sitting prime minister to face this kind of investigation, which could result in a fine of up to $20,000 and a referral to police if the violations are serious.”
