REP. PETER KING BECOMES FIRST REPUBLICAN TO CALL FOR NEWS CORP INVESTIGATION

Joining a growing number of Democratic lawmakers seeking investigations into News Corp, Rep. Peter King (R-NY) today called for the FBI to investigate whether Rupert Murdoch’s company hacked into the voicemail accounts of 9/11 victims. “And as we approach 9/11, the tenth anniversary, it’s even going to get worse,” King told Politico, calling the allegations of hacking “disgraceful.”
