The Coming Crisis: Weasel words: Clegg insisted he didn't know about sex allegations against peer but now admits he ordered probe FIVE YEARS ago into 'non specific' claims
Nick Clegg (right) was accused of a 'classic cover-up' last night after admitting he has known for five years that Lord Rennard (left) faced claims of molesting women. In a stunning about-face, Mr Clegg said he asked his chief of staff, Danny Alexander, to probe 'concerns about Chris Rennard's conduct' in 2008. The Deputy Prime Minister conceded he accepted the denials of the then Lib Dem chief executive at face value and allowed him to retire on health grounds a year later.
