LONDON (Reuters) British police have questioned CNN host Piers Morgan in connection with allegations of phone-hacking at the Daily Mirror, a newspaper he formerly edited, local media reported on Friday.
Morgan, a former judge on Americas Got Talent who replaced Larry King on CNN in 2011, was interviewed by police in December, he said in a statement to the Guardian newspaper.
Morgan, 48, has always denied any involvement in phone hacking. Trinity Mirror, which publishes the Mirror, declined to comment and there was no immediate comment from a spokeswoman for Morgan. CNN could not be immediately reached for comment.

Operation Golding is the inquiry into phone-hacking at the Mirror newspaper and was a spin-off from a long-running investigation into similar criminal allegations centered on Rupert Murdochs now-defunct News of the World newspaper.
