Farage admits undercover donation sting "looks bad" but says "I wasn't even listening" to US donor pitch

Nigel Farage told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg on September 6 that a Channel 4 undercover investigation into Reform UK aides discussing ways around foreign-donation laws "looks bad" for the party. Confronted with a separate clip where he called a proposed US-backed donation chain "all above board," Farage said "I wasn't even listening." Two senior aides stepped down September 4 pending an internal probe. The party has been reported to police.
