Lord Hermer accused of 'witch hunt' against British troops despite being warned allegations were LIES.
Supported by 1 story
Attorney General Lord Hermer has been accused of a "witch hunt" against British troops despite being warned the allegations were lies, an investigation has claimed.The investigation has exposed Lord Hermer's central involvement in the Al-Sweady scandal, during which he pursued compensation claims against UK soldiers on behalf of Iraqi clients despite apparently receiving warnings their allegations were fabricated.The Telegraph obtained more than 25,000 pages of emails and legal documents revealing one of Sir Keir Starmer's closest Cabinet ally served as lead counsel in civil claims against the Ministry of Defence, pressing for substantial payouts even as evidence mounted his eight Iraqi clients were "on the make".Lord Hermer, who was working on a no-win, no-fee basis and stood to gain significantly if the claims succeeded, later maintained that it was irrelevant whether his clients were "a saint or a member of al-Qaeda" when bringing human rights cases against British troops.
