Piers Morgan responds to accusations he knew about phone hacking following Prince Harry trial

After Prince Harry's case in the High Court against Mirror Group found the company to have been practising phone hacking between 2006 and 2011, Piers Morgan was also mentioned in court by the judge as a person who knew about phone hacking while he was The Mirror's editor.

In his response, he comes after Prince Harry, Omid Scobie and Alastair Campbell, along with the defence.

Milly Dowler. Remember her?
Piers you absolute wrong'un

[Aarontlondon]

It’s not an ‘accusation’ he’s responding to, it’s a ‘judgment’.
They’re very different things.

[toriesdontgettazered]

A tirade of insults makes him look more guilty ..

[letfelicityfly]

Oh so close to not mentioning Meghan - but he just couldn’t help it could he? The man is unhealthily obsessed

[alanbarker]

Hopefully the CPS are already sharpening their pencils...

[danburycollins]

"where do you want me" Morgan asks. 'In prison mate' should have been the response from the press.

[Stoatfacelanust]

Very telling indeed. "I've never hacked a phone, or told anyone else to hack a phone" -- That's not a denial he was aware that knew it was going on though.

[michaelstevenson]

He's made a career out of asking 'gotcha' questions, but was soon on his toes before fellow journalists could question him.

[andrewbuntingmusic]

Even in his statement he's spitting vicious bile.

[biggmick]

Mirror group didn't call him as a witness for 2 reasons. The high likelihood his testimony would result in an even more damming verdict and that he would perjure himself.

[poplife]

Well Pier the law has that statement was well and truly desperate mate.

[dub]

They aren't just accusations.. The judge ruled that there “can be no doubt” that he knew about the practice.

[lokischildren]

Jail him and Rebecca brooks and Murdoch

[Dyoplosaurus]

The slimiest right wing culture warrior in the world. Let's hope the police actually do their jobs and prosecute.

[kat-xo]

I hope he has to answer for this statement, too. It was utterly disgusting.

[spartacusforlife]

What about Jeremy paxmans story that Morgan told him about phone hacking at a luncheon. This occured in 2002. Any editor questions were and how reporters get their stories. Given that phone hacking was endemic at the daily mirror I simply don't believe Morgan knew nothing

[mworby]

Piers pulling the Trump technique. Just keep denying it until and hopefully it will become the truth!

[thecritic]

Not according the Judge, The judge found that you committed perjury.

[robp]

While Harry was a working royal, Harry couldn’t go after the media. That’s the real reason Morgan’s angry, Harry walking away was the last thing he thought he would do!

[jzilla]

That night meghan ghosted him to go see harry at a party, still pains him deeply
