without basis

Ava denied this and earlier this month lawyers hired by MrBeast concluded that allegations of grooming were "without basis".

Lawyers hired by MrBeast to investigate claims that his former co-host groomed a teenager have concluded that the allegations were "without basis", the star YouTuber has said.

"Allegations of sexual misconduct... between company employees and minors are without basis. The allegations were soundly rejected, including by alleged victims," it said.

It added that allegations the company had knowingly employed "individuals with proclivities or histories towards illegal... conduct" were "similarly without basis".

On Tuesday the government released a statement saying allegations that Lee Hsien Yang and his family are victims of persecution were "without basis" and that they face "no legal restraints".
