CBS correspondent Jericka Duncan spoke out Wednesday night about a text message exchange she had with “60 Minutes” executive producer Jeff Fager over the weekend that pushed Fager out of the company. Fager, who has denied the claims of harassment, released a statement confirming he was fired because “I sent a text message to one of our CBS reporters” over her coverage of newer allegations against him that The New Yorker published Sunday. “I am that reporter,” Duncan said on air. “Since Jeff Fager publicly referred to our exchange today, I want to be transparent about it. First, here’s some background: Sunday evening I reached out to Fager for comment on the articles alleging he groped or touched CBS employees at company parties.”
