The American authorities have widened their investigation into Rupert Murdoch's News Corp to look into allegations of wrongdoing at the company beyond the claim that News of the World journalists attempted to hack the phones of 9/11 victims.

The widened US inquiry, said to be at "an early stage", will look at past claims against News Corp companies, including a lawsuit brought by Floorgraphics, an advertising company, which alleged computer hacking on the part of its Murdoch-owned competitor.

A New Jersey senator wrote to the US Attorney General's office last month asking for an inquiry into News Corp's behaviour in the US, citing the case of Floorgraphics, whose founders claimed their Murdoch-owned rival, News America, threatened to destroy their company when they rejected a takeover bid. A jury was told that 11 breaches of Floorgraphics' password-protected website in 2004 were traced back to an address registered to a News America office and that sensitive information could have been accessed.

News Corp, which ended the lawsuit after agreeing to buy Floorgraphics for $29.5m (£18m), denied any claim that it threatened the company and said it condemned the hacking, suggesting it may have been carried out without its knowledge by an employee. News Corp is now facing questions about its US operations, including whether American corruption laws were broken if it is proven that NOTW journalists made payments to British police officers.

No wonder that very few prominent Dems would take to the airwaves to to help campaign against Bush and his war leadership.

Mike Connell, Rove's IT fixer, ordered to testify on Monday

At the end of the day yesterday at the Carl Stokes Federal Court Building in Cleveland, US District Judge Solomon Oliver denied Michael Connell's motion to quash the subpoena issued for his deposition testimony ordered the deposition to take place at Noon on Monday Nov. 3, 2008, in Cleveland.
