In secret, without aids or observers.

…Boris Johnson today admitted meeting a former Russian spy without officials or his security team while Foreign Secretary.

The Prime Minister finally confirmed he visited billionaire Alexander Lebedev, who was an officer in the First Chief Directorate of the Soviet Union′s KGB, at his son Evgeny’s luxury Italian holiday home three years ago.

The meeting took place on April 28, 2018 when Mr Johnson was the UK’s top envoy and charged with representing Britain abroad.

He was also responsible for the Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, and the Government's eavesdropping agency, GCHQ.

Not that there’s anything corrupt going on, necessarily.

Thank you for caring, onetexan!
