GOPer wants FBI probe of Rupert Murdoch - Seung Min Kim - POLITICO.com
If it turns out that even one victim got their voicemail hacked, I can't see things ending well for Murdoch on this side of the atlantic.
New York Republican Pete King is calling on the FBI to investigate whether Rupert Murdochs News Corporation hacked into the voicemail accounts of Sept. 11 victims, calling the allegations of the scandal disgraceful.
As I see it, I would expect more things to be coming out over the next several weeks, King told POLITICO. And as we approach 9/11, the tenth anniversary, its even going to get worse.
A number of Democratic senators are also calling for inquiries into the scandal. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) is calling on Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate. Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W. Va.), who chairs the Senate Commerce Committee, asked for an investigation on Tuesday into whether American phones were hacked by News Corp. reporters. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) says she supports Rockefeller. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J) wants authorities to look into allegations that News of the World reporters bribed London police for information about the British royal family.
