Boris Johnson received a legal form from U.K. police investigating allegations he attended parties with government officials that broke national lockdown rules during the coronavirus pandemic.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police, whose commissioner Cressida Dick quit suddenly this week, sent a legal questionnaire to the prime minister and dozens of officials as part of the investigation. Johnson has maintained he didn’t break any rules at the Downing Street gatherings.
