LONDON (AP) – Former CNN host Piers Morgan was questioned for a second time by British police Tuesday about tabloid phone hacking.

Morgan, who edited Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper between 1995 and 2004, said he attended a voluntary interview with detectives.

“As this is an ongoing investigation, I am unable to comment further until its conclusion,” he said in a statement.

London’s Metropolitan Police said “a 50-year-old man was interviewed under caution … in connection with suspected conspiracy to intercept telephone voicemails.”

“Under caution” means Morgan was not arrested, but the interview was recorded and could be used in future prosecutions
