A former Tory MP accused of withholding information about the source of £39,000 donated to his election “fighting fund” has told a jury he did not know the money was provided by a property developer.
David Mackintosh, the MP for Northampton South between 2015 and 2017, is standing trial alongside businessman Howard Grossman, who is accused of using third parties to conceal the source of nine separate donations to the Northampton South Conservative Association during 2014.
