Dan Wootton, the journalist and presenter of GB News, has responded to allegations made against him on social media, dismissing all criminal claims as “untrue” and asserting that he is the target of a “smear campaign.” Wootton made a statement at the beginning of his daily show, Dan Wootton Tonight, affirming his commitment to transparency and addressing the ongoing accusations.
During his address, the 40-year-old journalist acknowledged feeling uncomfortable being the subject of the news but emphasized his show’s commitment to impartiality and openness. Wootton stated that he felt compelled to address the allegations circulating online, particularly those detailed in a report by Byline Times on Monday, which outlined potential criminal behaviour spanning a decade.
