A fatal accident inquiry held in 2015 found Mr Clarke "repeatedly lied" about his history of blackouts in order to gain and retain jobs with previous employer First Bus and with Glasgow City Council.

Flynn also admitted he lied to the FBI about communications with Russia in order to protect Trump, a performative ‘admission’ since the FBI already had him on a wiretap doing what he claimed he hadn’t.

A judge ruled in their favour saying Wright had "lied extensively" to support his false claim.

She initially told police she'd hurt her feet by stepping on glass and later said she lied because she didn't want to "get in more trouble".

The story was that she had lied on the witness stand so Wilson and county prosecutors could score a conviction against Cox.
