U.K. Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab resigned Friday after an independent investigation found he bullied civil servants.
Raab's announcement the day after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak received findings into eight formal complaints that Raab, who is also justice secretary, had been abusive toward staff members during a previous stint in that office and while serving as Britain's foreign secretary and Brexit secretary.Raab, 49, denied claims he belittled and demeaned his staff and said he "behaved professionally at all times," but had said he would resign if the bullying complaints were upheld.
Sunak received the investigation report Thursday morning and was carefully considering the findings but didn't immediately make a decision, spokesperson Max Blain said. The report is the latest ethics headache for Sunak, who vowed to restore order and integrity to government after three years of instability under predecessors Boris Johnson and Liz Truss. Multiple scandals brought Johnson down in summer 2022, and Truss quit in October after six weeks in office when her tax-cutting economic plans sparked mayhem on the financial markets.
