British Prime Minister Boris Johnson offered what he called a “wholehearted apology” over his role in the United Kingdom’s Partygate scandal.

Johnson appeared Tuesday before the House of Commons and spoke about the fine he had to pay because of his involvement in several social events at No. 10 Downing St. during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Johnson’s role in the events has led several members of the opposing parties to call for an investigation into the prime minister.
