More sexual harassment at Fox News. Apparently Charles Payne admitted to having an affair with a woman because The Enquirer outed him, and now that woman is accusing him of sexual harassment.
In a statement to Enquirer, Payne apologized for having an affair w/ an unnamed political commentator. That commentator is Hughes. Story TK pic.twitter.com/EjJA0jtnXp

Scottie Nell Hughes is a big-time Trump defender.
More from the LA Times:
Fox Business Network host Charles Payne has been suspended while the law firm investigating sexual harassment claims at 21st Century Fox is reviewing allegations against him, the company confirmed Wednesday night.
Payne’s suspension was announced by Fox Business Network following his program “Making Money.”
“We take issues of this nature extremely seriously and have a zero tolerance policy for any professional misconduct,” a Fox Business Network representative said in a statement. “This matter is being thoroughly investigated and we are taking all of the appropriate steps to reach a resolution in a timely manner.”
Charles Payne, who hosts “Making Money” on the network and appears on various other programs, has acknowledged what he described as a three-year “romantic relationship” with a married female political analyst who frequently appeared on Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel from 2013 to 2016. Payne admitted to the extramarital affair in a statement to the National Enquirer published Wednesday that included an apology to his wife, children and friends.
MAN. They just can’t quit over at Fox News.
This is very sad. Payne seemed like a really nice guy. Hopefully the allegations are false, but if they are true, he needs to face the consequences.
