November 14, 2007 (LPAC)--On Tuesday, Judith Regan filed a $100 million defamation suit against her former employer, News Corp, whose chairman is Rupert Murdoch. Regan claims that executives at News Corp carried out a six-year campaign of dirty tricks against her to advance News Corp's political agenda, "which has long centered on protecting Rudy Giuliani's presidential ambitions."

Regan charges that an unnamed senior News Corp. executive "counseled Regan to lie and withhold information from investigators" about her acknowledged affair with former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik. Another unnamed News Corp. executive "advised Regan not to produce clearly relevant documents in connection with a governmental investigation of Kerik."
