LIVE: UK Covid Inquiry holds third preliminary hearing amid Boris Johnson WhatsApp row. The chairwoman of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry is expected to respond for the first time to a High Court challenge of her request for Boris Johnson’s unredacted WhatsApp messages. Baroness Heather Hallett is due to hold a preliminary inquiry hearing on Tuesday in which she is set to address ministers’ decision to bring forward a judicial review. The retired senior judge’s deadline for the UK Government to hand over the former prime minister’s WhatsApp messages and notebooks in an unredacted format was missed by the Cabinet Office last week, with ministers instead announcing plans to challenge the request in the courts. #CovidInquiry #Covid #BorisJohnson #RishiSunak #BaronessHallett #UKnews Daily Mail Website: https://www.dailymail.co.uk Daily Mail Facebook:   / dailymail   Daily Mail IG:   / dailymail   Daily Mail Snap:   / daily-ma.  .
