Law tried to suggest to tabloid that Miller strayed first

Actor Jude Law tried to manipulate a News of the World story about his girlfriend Sienna Miller’s affair with Bond star Daniel Craig to make it appear that “she cheated first”, it was claimed.

A PR source asked the paper to “deliberately backdate”, claiming the request was effectively from Law, who had had a fling with a nanny, the hacking trial heard.

The disclosure came as former editor Andy Coulson’s lawyer Timothy Langdale QC cross-examined self-confessed NotW hacker Dan Evans on the fifth day of his evidence.
