DOMINIC Raab is being investigated over five fresh formal complaints about his conduct after Rishi Sunak referred the new allegations to the senior lawyer conducting a bullying inquiry.
Downing Street said the new accusations – taking the total number in Adam Tolley KC’s investigation to eight – relate to the Deputy Prime Minister's time at the Ministry of Justice.
The Prime Minister’s spokesman declined to discuss the “sensitive detail” of what period at the department the new allegations relate to, with Raab currently on his second stint as Justice Secretary.
