New York (CNN Business) McDonald's former CEO Steve Easterbrook is fighting the company's attempt to claw back his severance package. In the suit, McDonald's alleged that he had lied to internal investigators about the extent of his relationships with employees and asked that he be forced to return the money as a result. In a court filing Friday, Easterbrook's lawyers argued that McDonald's doesn't have grounds to claw back the severance package. McDonald's former CEO Steve Easterbrook wants the company to drop a lawsuit they filed against him. McDonald's lawsuit states that the company was tipped off to other relationships in July, and opened a new investigation which found proof of three sexual relationships.
