Right-wing entertainer and provocateur Bill O’Reilly has made an ironic move in his all-out fight against the waves of sexual harassment charges that are threatening even his lofty perch at Fox News.
According to the New York Times, the conservative commentator — who made his name in the 1990s disparaging then-President Bill Clinton for having an extramarital affair — has hired Clinton’s lawyer from the embattled “Monicagate” era, Mark Fabiani.
Fox News announced this weekend that it intends to pursue an independent investigation against O’Reilly regarding the charges of groping, harassment and sexualized bullying leveled against him by multiple women who have worked at Fox News. Network management are bringing back white shoe law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, the firm that investigated markedly similar charges against ousted CEO Roger Ailes last year.
“21st Century Fox investigates all complaints and we have asked the law firm Paul Weiss to continue assisting the company in these serious matters,” said a statement from the company on Sunday.
