Jeffrey Donaldson’s wife told police she was met with a “blank wall” when she repeatedly asked him about an incident where he had been alone in a room with an alleged victim of sexual abuse.

Lady Eleanor Donaldson said what had happened had made her feel “uncomfortable” but insisted she had never witnessed or known about any inappropriate behaviour.
