DRUDGE: Roger Ailes to leave Fox News

Maxwell TaniJul 20, 2016, 01:55 IST

Fox News CEO Roger Ailes is reportedly leaving Fox News with a heft severance package.

Matt Drudge, the popular conservative link aggregator, posted an apparent copy of the agreement, which would grant Ailes over $40 million.

The reported resignation comes several weeks after former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson filed a lawsuit accusing Ailes of repeated sexual harassment.

Fox News did not immediately return Business Insider's request for comment.
