Prosecutors may be probing Fox News over Ailes sexual harassment claims

A lawyer for a former host on Fox News said federal prosecutors issued him a subpoena in an ongoing sexual harassment lawsuit against former Fox Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes. Based on the subpoena claim, federal prosecutors may be investigating Fox News parent company 21st Century Fox for "quietly settling sexual harassment claims against former Fox News chief Roger Ailes without reporting it to the media giant’s shareholders." The revelation came during a hearing surrounding former "Outnumbered" and "The Five" co-host Andrea Tantaros’s lawsuit against Fox News executives in New York Supreme Court. The 38-year-old Tantaros claims that her former network had “operated like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult.”
