LONDON (AP) — Britain’s departed defense minister Liam Fox breached rules by allowing a friend access to meetings and overseas visits — including discussions with a U.S. military commander and senior Israeli officials, a report by the country’s top civil servant ruled Tuesday.
Fox stepped down as defense secretary Friday amid intense scrutiny over the role of Adam Werritty, who had posed as an aide, arranged private meetings and joined at least 18 trips overseas.
