Campbell admits to circulating drafts of Leveson statement

Former Downing St communications director Alastair Campbell was giving evidence to the Leveson Inquiry into press standards today – although details of his testimony had already been leaked to a blogger.

Mr Campbell today said he sent drafts of his witness statement to lawyers, journalists and former political colleagues before 'an early version' leaked online by Paul Staines, who blogs under the name Guido Fawkes.
