One of the prime minister's most senior advisers has been suspended, the BBC understands.
Jason Stein, a special adviser to Liz Truss, is to face a formal investigation by the Propriety and Ethics Team in Whitehall.
There has been some anger from Conservative backbench MPs about briefings from No10 sources over the weekend.
Mr Stein has not yet responded to requests for comment from the BBC.
He previously worked for Ms Truss when she was chief secretary to the Treasury before he became a special advisor to Amber Rudd.
He also worked for Ms Truss during her Tory leadership campaign.
