General election 2019: Source of UK-US trade document leak must be found - PM
7 December 2019
Boris Johnson has said an investigation is needed into the source of leaked documents on UK-US trade negotiations posted on Reddit.
Labour says the documents show the NHS would be at risk under a post-Brexit trade deal with the US.
On Friday, forum website Reddit said unredacted documents were uploaded as "part of a campaign that has been reported as originating from Russia".
It has suspended 61 accounts that showed a "pattern of coordination".
The government said it was looking into the matter with help from the National Cyber Security Centre.
Speaking on Saturday, Mr Johnson said "we do need to get to the bottom" of the leak but said he had seen "no evidence of any successful interference by Russia in any democratic event in this country".
