On 26 November 2020, 24 members of US Congress urged Boris Johnson’s government to set up public inquiry into the murder of Pat Finucane. Both Republicans and Democrats accused UK government of ‘breach of faith’ in the case. On the 30 November 2020, the Northern Ireland Secretary, Brandon Lewis, rejected calls for a public inquiry, citing ongoing PSNI and police ombudsman's reviews, despite the Chief Constable of the PSNI insisting that no new evidence had came to light. Mr. Lewis stated that "now is not the time" for a public inquiry, potentially leaving the door open for an inquiry in future.
