Attorney General to go to court to BLOCK prosecution of Tony Blair over the Iraq war after families of dead servicemen brought case against him because he ‘misled Parliament’

‘The Attorney General has launched a legal bid to throw out an attempt to haul Tony Blair to court over the war in Iraq.
Tory MP Jeremy Wright, the government’s top law officer, intervened after a judge ruled last November that the ex-Prime Minister had ‘immunity’ from criminal prosecution over the 2003 conflict and that any case would involve disclosing details under the Official Secrets Act.
