BoJo’s ‘EU lie’ battle
FORMER foreign secretary Boris Johnson could be prosecuted privately for comments made in the run-up to the EU referendum.
Marcus Ball, 29, is bringing a case against Mr Johnson for allegedly abusing public trust.
It relates to the claim by Vote Leave that the UK sends £350million a week to the EU. Mr Ball appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
Giles Bright, his solicitor, said: “The court has determined that a public hearing will take place on Thursday May 23 at this court, at which the judge will consider the application to issue a summons against the proposed defendant, Mr Boris Johnson MP, for the offence of misconduct in a public office.”
