Lawyer: Fox to investigate Bill O'Reilly claims

An attorney who represents one of his accusers says 21st Century Fox is opening an investigation into sexual harassment claims against Bill O'Reilly.

Lisa Bloom, a civil rights attorney and advocate, last week called the network's corporate hotline with her client Wendy Walsh to file a complaint. The call was put on YouTube.

Bloom said Sunday attorneys with the company told her and Walsh an investigation will be conducted based on Walsh's complaint.

"I'm told that they are taking it seriously, and they are going to do the investigation that's legally required of them," Bloom told CNN.

A Fox spokeswoman said the company "investigates all complaints and we have asked the law firm Paul Weiss to continue assisting the company in these serious matters."
