The investigation looked into the behavior of several high-ranking employees including soon-to-be former NBC News chief Andy Lack and former Hardball host Chris Matthews.
Variety spoke directly to three women who were interviewed for the investigation and has knowledge of three additional interviewees. Among those who cooperated was Megyn Kelly, according to a source close to her. Former NBC News anchor Linda Vester, who accused Tom Brokaw of misconduct in 2018, told Variety she was interviewed by the New York attorney general’s office earlier this year.
Andy Lack’s exit from NBC News was announced Monday evening, months ahead of his predetermined retirement. Calls for a change in leadership have been growing, thanks in part to Ronan Farrow and Rich McHugh’s claim that NBC killed their Harvey Weinstein sexual-assault story, which went on to win a Pulitzer Prize with The New Yorker.
