United Kingdom Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab resigned Friday after an internal investigation found he bullied colleagues.
Raab is the latest senior U.K. official to resign in a Conservative government which has seen two prime ministers resign in the last year.
He had promised to resign if a months-long inquiry helped back up any claims of office bullying against him. That investigation ended Friday and dismissed all claims against him except for two.
Raab said in his resignation letter the inquiry found he had not “sworn or shouted at anyone, let alone thrown anything or otherwise physically intimidated anyone, nor intentionally sought to belittle anyone.”
“I am genuinely sorry for any unintended stress or offence that any officials felt, as a result of the pace, standards and challenge that I brought to the Ministry of Justice,” he wrote.
As deputy prime minister, Raab had no formal duties except to step in for Rishi Sunak in his absence. He also served as a senior adviser.
A second Sunak minister, Gavin Williamson, also resigned over bullying allegations earlier this year.
