The Senate committee is unwilling to launch a full-scale investigation into the alleged wrongdoing until after a series of criminal trials of former News Corp staff, due to begin next month. However, Senator Rockefeller is understood to be keen to amass as much evidence as possible ahead of the trials, so that the committee can launch a potential investigation once criminal proceedings have finished". Last year, he wrote to Lord Justice Leveson requesting any evidence suggesting criminal conduct had occurred in the US, involved US citizens or fallen within the jurisdiction of US laws. The FBI and DoJ are currently investigating any potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). However, News Corp could fall foul of other laws if journalists are found to have intercepted voicemails on US soil. [102]
