The CBS board of directors met again on Wednesday and agreed to hire two law firms "to conduct a full investigation of the allegations in recent press reports about Chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves, CBS News and cultural issues at all levels of CBS." The board said a special committee will "help facilitate the investigation," and "Moonves will have no role in the investigation." Ronan Farrow's bombshell story about alleged harassment at CBS came out while "60 Minutes" staffers were enjoying their annual summer break. The speculation ramped up on Wednesday when some, though not all, "60" staffers returned to work. The Fager allegations are part of the review.
