New evidence has emerged News International executive chairman James Murdoch was warned of the phone hacking at his family’s media empire earlier than he has admitted to. On Tuesday, a British parliamentary inquiry released a June 2008 email chain from then-News of the World editor, Colin Myler, that Murdoch received. In the email to Murdoch, Myler described the hacking revelations as a “nightmare scenario.” Murdoch replied to the email within three minutes, but now claims he did not read the full email chain outlining the situation.
