"Allegations of Cover-Up: New Washington Post CEO and Rupert Murdoch Under Fire"

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch and The Washington Post's CEO, Will Lewis, are accused of covering up phone hacking and other illegal acts by Murdoch's British tabloids. Allegations suggest that Murdoch knowingly gave false evidence under oath and Lewis actively plotted to cover up senior executives' role in the scandal. The accusations threaten to tie the two men together as Lewis takes on his new role at The Washington Post. The scandal involves invasion of privacy, including phone and computer hacking, and payments to acquire confidential personal information. The legal battle continues as litigants seek to amend their phone-hacking lawsuit against Murdoch's British newspaper arm.
