Megyn Kelly demands outside investigation of NBC News, calls Matt Lauer a "sexual predator"

Deadline

Kelly also called on NBC News to release Lauer's alleged accusers from non-disclosure agreements that, according to Ronan Farrow's new book Catch and Kill, they signed years before the former Today anchor was fired for sexual misconduct in November 2017. “Show us the money," said Kelly on Tucker Carlson Tonight, in her first Fox News appearance since leaving the cable news network nearly three years ago. "They need to release any and all Matt Lauer accusers from their confidentiality agreements. NBC says they have nothing to hide. Great, let’s not hide anything. Show us all the agreements so we can see which ones pop out, and are they all women? The question is open to whether they put dollars ahead of decency.” Kelly, who was also making her first appearance on TV since she was ousted from NBC News earlier this year, added: "There needs to be an outside investigation into this company. They investigated themselves. That doesn’t work. This is how it’s done. You get somebody who’s on the outside who can be trusted. If that’s true and there’s nothing to hide, get an outside investigator. … More needs to happen to get to the bottom of this.” Kelly also told Carlson that NBC News “covered up for one sexual predator, Harvey Weinstein, in order to protect another: Matt Lauer.”
