CBS said Friday that a New York City prosecutor has subpoenaed the company for information related to sexual misconduct allegations that led to the ouster of longtime chief Les Moonves. Moonves resigned as chairman of CBS on Sept. 9, hours after the New Yorker published a story detailing a second round of ugly accusations against him. Outside lawyers hired by CBS continue to investigate allegations against Moonves and Jeff Fager, the former top executive at 60 Minutes. The lawyers' investigation is also looking into "cultural issues at all levels of CBS," the filing said. In a regulatory filing earlier this month, CBS said it would pay Moonves a $120-million severance if that investigation fails to find any evidence of sexual misconduct.
