Rich McHugh, a former NBC News producer who worked with Ronan Farrow, had some tough words for the network Monday over the departure of NBC News/MSNBC chairman Andy Lack.
Lack and NBC News president Noah Oppenheim have faced a great deal of scrutiny for, as Farrow wrote, trying to kill his reporting on Harvey Weinstein, among other serious allegations — allegations Lack subsequently denied.
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson covered Lack’s departure Monday night and blasted him for “protecting a serial predator for being a major Democratic donor.”
Carlson started his interview with McHugh saying he’s heard that the New York attorney general’s office is “investigating NBC on sexual abuse, sexual harassment claims, and no one’s been charged, but people have come in and been interviewed.”
“Yes, I have, Tucker. That is true. I am aware of it,” McHugh said. “I have been looking into it for a story. It was the New York attorney general’s office civil division. We’re not sure if it could lead to anything criminal, but I do know they have been looking into this and interviewing employees over a number of months.”
