Daily Intelligencer's Gabriel Sherman reported Tuesday that there might be a reason for Fox News host Megyn Kelly's silence on the allegations of sexual assault against Fox CEO Roger Ailes:

According to two sources briefed on parent company 21st Century Fox’s outside probe of the Fox News executive, led by New York–based law firm Paul, Weiss, Kelly has told investigators that Ailes made unwanted sexual advances toward her about 10 years ago when she was a young correspondent at Fox. Kelly, according to the sources, has described her harassment by Ailes in detail. [Daily Intelligencer]
