Fox News anchor Ed Henry is out.
Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and president Jay Wallace in a memo to employees on Wednesday announced that Henry has been fired following a complaint "from a former employee's attorney involving willful sexual misconduct in the workplace years ago," CNN reports. Henry was suspended as an outside law firm investigated the claim that was made on June 25, the network said, and "based on investigative findings, Ed has been terminated."
