UK parliamentarian admits lying about lucrative pandemic contracts but says she’s done nothing wrong (Associated Press)

Mone admitted that she is a beneficiary of her husband’s financial trusts, which hold about 60 million pounds ($76 million) in profits from the deal.

But she argued that the couple were being made “scapegoats” in a wider scandal about U.K. government spending during the pandemic.

“We’ve done one thing, which was lie to the press to say we weren’t involved,” she said, adding: “I can’t see what we’ve done wrong.”
