In a statement, Mr. Johnson accused lawmakers of launching the investigation to end his political career. “I am being forced out by a small number of people who have no evidence to support their assertions,” Mr. Johnson said. Mr. Johnson was forced to end his term as prime minister early in part due to criticism within the Conservative Party and across the U.K. over parties at his office and Downing Street residence during the country’s Covid-19 lockdown.
