NBC News Foreign Correspondent Molly Hunter joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss potential consequences former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson could face as he testifies before Parliament regarding a party he held during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. “As far as what could happen next for Boris Johnson, the Privileges Committee could recommend a number of sanctions, including an oral or written apology. On the more serious end, they could recommend a suspension or an expulsion,” Hunter says. “And if it is a suspension for more than 10 days, that could eventually trigger a reelection and send Boris Johnson home from Parliament.”March 22, 2023
