Mr Johnson accepted Mr Corbyn’s “assurance” no cash changed hands — and corrected the record over his comment in the Commons last July.
But in a letter, he wrote: “You did, however, receive up to ￡10,000 for your appearances on Iranian state-run Press TV.”
He said the channel was linked with “promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories” and pointed out Ofcom “revoked” its UK broadcast licence.
Mr Corbyn, who went head-to-head with the PM in the 2019 election, is sitting as an Independent after being suspended by Labour over a comment on anti-Semitism.
He said he was “determined to eliminate all forms of racism”.
