Liz Truss’ phone ‘hacked by Putin spies’ for secret info and private messages

Incendiary claims will raise serious questions for Cabinet Secretary Simon Case and former PM Boris Johnson over a “news blackout” about the compromised device

Liz Truss’ personal phone was ‘hacked’ by spies suspected of working for Vladimir Putin, it has been reported.

According to the Mail on Sunday, agents thought to be working for the Kremlin downloaded a year’s worth of messages and top secret discussions with international allies.

But it’s claimed Boris Johnson and Cabinet Secretary Simon Case agreed to suppress information about the cyber-attack, which was discovered during the Tory leadership campaign.

Allies were worried that if the news broke it could derail her chances of becoming Prime Minister – and it’s claimed she “had trouble sleeping” until Mr Case “imposed a news blackout.”
