Prince Harry has been awarded a "modest" sum of $180,000 by the High Court in London after a judge ruled that he was the victim of "extensive" phone hacking by the Mirror Group. The court ruled that Prince Harry's personal cellphone was likely hacked "to a modest extent," and that 15 out of the 33 news articles submitted as part of the trial were the product of accessing his mobile voicemail. The ruling is a reminder of the power of the press and the need to protect the privacy of individuals, as well as the importance of holding the press accountable for their actions.

House Republicans have elected Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) as their House Speaker, despite criticism from Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) who cited Scalise's past association with and comments about white supremacists. Scalise won the caucus vote 113 to 99, and the floor vote was moved up to this afternoon, presumably to get the vote done before anyone could make trouble. Mace said she would be doing an “enormous disservice” to the voters she represents in South Carolina if she voted for Scalise.
