Former News International legal director Jon Chapman has said that Rupert Murdoch “didn’t have his facts right” when he alleged that Harbottle & Lewis made a “major mistake” in an investigation into phone-hacking at the media mogul’s newspaper business.
Chapman, who was speaking today (6 September) at a hearing before the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, went on to say that Murdoch was “wrong” to blame Harbottle for not concluding there was evidence of widespread phone-hacking at News International.
