Roger Ailes told an employee to lie
No big deal there, but the employee was Judith Regan who sued News Corp after she was fired. Her suit alleged that an executive of News Corp told her to lie to federal investigators vetting the now imprisoned Bernie Kerik. The executive was never named and her suit was settled for $10 Million and everything was to remain confidential. She fired her lawyers just before the settlement to avoid paying the cut of the action. Her lawyers were rightfully pissed off and sued her. Somebody forgot to tell the clerk that everything was hush-hush and all the information from the first suit went into the public record, including the name of the executive, Roger Ailes. There is also a tape of the conversation between Regan and Ailes which, allegedly reveals his subornation of lying to a federal officer.
Rupe will probably spend $Millions to paper this over, but will he keep Roger afterwards? Stay tuned.
