Prince Harry words undermine phone hack case: lawyer

LONDON – An attorney for the publisher of The Sun tabloid used Prince Harry’s own words Thursday to argue that his phone hacking lawsuit should be thrown out. Attorney Anthony Hudson said emails from the Duke of Sussex to the Royal Family’s chief spokesperson indicated he was well aware enough of the allegations against the publisher that he could have brought a lawsuit in a timely manner. Harry first became aware that one of his voicemails had been intercepted in 2006 and knew he had a claim to bring in 2012, Hudson said. But the prince only began pushing Buckingham…

Special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecutors asked Judge Beryl Howell last month to pierce attorney-client privilege and compel Trump attorney Evan Corcoran to appear before a grand jury, sources previously told ABC News.
