Nigel Farage is under scrutiny for being accompanied by George 'Posh George' Cottrell, an aristocratic friend who spent eight months in a US jail for wire fraud.
Cottrell, who volunteered for Farage in 2016, was convicted for a 2014 offense unrelated to Farage or Ukip.
He was seen with Farage last week and in an incident where Farage was hit by a milkshake.
Farage, who returned as Reform UK leader, defended his association with Cottrell, emphasizing Christian forgiveness, while stating Cottrell has no official role in his campaign.
Farage plans to announce more policies for Reform UK, including tax cuts and spending changes.
At the time of his arrest, Cottrell was working in Farage’s office and played a role in Ukip’s EU referendum campaign fundraising.
