Mfarhanonline Social Media News: Rupert Murdoch and his son, James Murdoch, will give evidence to a parliamentary committee in Britain next week over phone hacking charges, according to a report. The two, who are U.S. citizens, had initially decided to skip the July 19 hearing and send former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks in their stead, according to reports. But now SkyNews is saying that the two will appear before the Culture, Media and Sport Committee. “We are in the process of writing to the select committee with the intention that Mr. James Murdoch and Mr. Rupert Murdoch will attend next Tuesday’s meeting,” a News Corp. spokesman is quoted as saying in the article. James Murdoch (pictured) is the chairman and CEO of News Corp. in Europe and Asia. Rupert Murdoch is the chairman/CEO of News Corp. News Corp. shuttered News of the World last week after The Guardian reported that NOTW reporters had hacked the phone of a missing girl in hopes of scoops. Since then, other phone hacking allegations have also surfaced, derailing News Corp.’s planned takeover of BSkyB and uniting British public opinion against the company and the Murdochs. In the U.S., some members of Congress, including Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, and Sen. David Rockefeller, D-W.Va., have called for an investigation of possible misconduct by Murdoch’s U.S. operations. Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., has also called on the FBI to probe allegations that News Corp. reporters hacked the phones of victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
