British Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab resigned on Friday, one day after an independent report into allegations that he bullied staff members while working at several government departments reached the desk of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Raab also resigned from his post of Britain's secretary of state for justice, making him the third senior minister who has departed the Sunak administration over their personal conduct.
Sunak later said he had accepted Raab's resignation with "great sadness."
