An investigation released on Wednesday found that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s office frequently violated Britain’s coronavirus restrictions, adding to pressure on his government.
The report, compiled by a senior British civil servant, Sue Gray, included evidence that Mr. Johnson had attended a birthday party held for him, in violation of his own government’s Covid rules, in 2020.
It also found that dozens of people had attended parties that were outlawed under Britain’s social-distancing rules at the time.
