The document also warned that the prosecutor, Barr, "appears to be involved as well." Boris Johnson, British Prime Minister, leaves his Downing Street residence. On Sunday, journalist Charlotte Edwardes wrote a piece alleging that she and another woman were groped by Johnson at a business lunch at The Spectator , when Johnson was editor.
