Leveson Inquiry: Editors 'knew phones were hacked'

A former News of the World journalist has said phone hacking was carried out "for our editors" who were aware of it.

Paul McMullan accused ex-NoW editors Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson, who deny knowledge of hacking, of "trying to drop me and my colleagues in it".

"I don't think anyone realised that anyone was committing a crime at the start," he also told the Leveson Inquiry into media ethics.
