The Guardian investigations team received a message from a non-profit organisation called Distributed Denial of Secrets saying it had a cache of files from the office of Boris Johnson. The trove of information shows what he has been up to since he left Downing Street … as well as a few things he kept a secret when he was still there.
The investigations reporter Henry Dyer tells Helen Pidd about how they trawled through emails, letters, spreadsheets, speeches and business contracts, as well as a minute-by-minute official log of how Johnson spent his time as prime minister, and why these files raise serious questions for him. From messages to Saudi princes to a meeting with a Venezuelan dictator, Henry explains what the team has learned.
