U.s. phone hacking by news corp. claimed

The lawyer for a stuntwoman suing Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. over alleged phone hacking said Tuesday his office has heard from other victims. Norman Siegel said his legal team is researching “a bunch” of allegations from people in Britain and the united States. Their claims are in addition to the lawsuit filed this month in Los Angeles by eunice Huthart, who worked as a stunt double for Angelina Jolie. Her lawsuit claims she was a victim of phone hacking attempts to get information about the actress. Ms. Huthart, of Liverpool, england, is the first person to sue the media company in the u.S. In court documents, she claims her phone was hacked from 2004 while she was living in Los Angeles and working on Ms. Jolie’s film Mr. & Mrs. Smith. News Corp. has spent uS$388million in settlements, legal fees and other costs since the hacking scandal came to light in 2011.
