Journalist Carole Cadwalladr gives evidence as she defends her reporting on multimillionaire Brexit backer
The Observer and Guardian journalist Carole Cadwalladr has told a court she believes the multimillionaire Brexit backer Arron Banks may have been “used and exploited” by the Russian government, as she defended her reporting.
Banks, who funded the pro-Brexit Leave.EU campaign group, is suing Cadwalladr for defamation over two instances in which she said the businessman was lying about his relationship with the Russian state.
