In the latest scandal indicting one of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s senior ministers, British Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab resigned on Friday after an independent review into allegations that he had bullied and mistreated colleagues.
What did Raab say in his resignation letter?
Dominic Raab said the inquiry had dismissed all but two of the claims levelled against him.

He also said it had concluded he had not once “sworn or shouted at anyone, let alone thrown anything or otherwise physically intimidated anyone, nor intentionally sought to belittle anyone.”
He gave an apology;
I am genuinely sorry for any unintended stress or offence that any officials felt, as a result of the pace, standards and challenge that I brought to the Ministry of Justice.
When did the inquiry begin?
Raab requested the investigation in November into two formal complaints about his behavior. A month later it was widened to include five further formal complaints.
He said at the time he had been notified of complaints from when he was foreign minister and justice minister.
Raab had said he was confident he had behaved professionally throughout. Sunak initially defended his deputy when the allegations surfaced, saying he did not recognize allegations that Raab had bullied staff.
The report has not been published yet, and there has been no comment from Sunak.
