“Scotland Yard’s counterterrorism unit, which is responsible for issues related to violation of the state secret legislation, has launched a criminal investigation,” the statement said.

Earlier, the media reported that Darroc called the US President Donald Trump incompetent in a diplomatic telegram sent to London.

The British government regretted the leak.

Against the background of the situation, Trump declared that the United States would no longer deal with a diplomat, and called him crazy. For his part, Darroc said that in the current situation he did not consider it possible to continue his work.
