Former British prime minister Boris Johnson says his security detail found a listening device in his personal bathroom at the Foreign Office in London after a meeting he had with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, The Telegraph reports, citing an excerpt of the Conservative politician’s new book.

Calling Netanyahu by his nickname Bibi, Johnson, who was the UK’s foreign secretary at the time, says the prime minister relieved himself in the bathroom in his “secret annex” during a meeting in 2017.

“Thither Bibi repaired for a while, and it may or may not be a coincidence but I am told that later, when they were doing a regular sweep for bugs, they found a listening device in the thunderbox,” Johnson writes in “Unleashed.”

When the Telegraph asked the former British premier for more information, Johnson answered: “I think everything you need to know about that episode is in the book.”
