Sir Kim Darroch called the administration of US President Donald Trump "clumsy and inept" in the emails.

It led to him stepping down from his post earlier this week.

Trump had said the US would no longer deal with Darroch and called him a "a very stupid guy."

The newly announced criminal investigation will try and find out who was behind the leak.
