Andy Coulson, formerly editor of the tabloid News of the World, and later Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron's director of communications


In this April 13, 2010 file photo, Andy Coulson, formerly editor of the tabloid News of the World, and later Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron's director of communications, speaks on a mobile phone in London. Cameron speaking to parliament on Wednesday July 20, 2011, said that if Coulson had lied about phone hacking at his time at the News of the World then he should face "severe" criminal charges. He added: "If it turns out I have been lied to that would be a moment for a profound apology, and in that event I can tell you I will not fall short." Cameron acknowledged that if he had known when he appointed Coulson what he knew now, he would never have offered him the job. (AP Photo/Oli Scarff, Pool, file)
