Will Obama Go After Murdoch?

Forgive me, because I have been on a little bit of hiatus from the news and I'm just getting myself caught up. The recent scandal in the news has been about Murdoch's News Corp being involved in paying off officials with bribes, in exchange for news. Phone hacking is also included among the allegations. News of the World, a British tabloid has gone under and now, it is being speculated that perhaps Obama may go after Murdoch, here in the United States.

 Employees of Murdoch's now-shuttered News of the World tabloid have been accused of hacking into personal voicemail and paying bribes. British authorities are investigating. 
Legal experts in the United States said News Corp could face scrutiny on this side of the Atlantic Ocean as U.S. officials probe whether any of the allegations, if proven true, violate the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. 
That law makes it a crime for any company with U.S. ties to bribe foreign officials to obtain or retain business.
