New York (CNN Business) McDonald's investigation into the behavior of its former CEO includes whether he covered up the improprieties of other employees, a company spokesperson said Wednesday. The company is also investigating allegations of possible misconduct within its human resources department, the spokesperson said. When McDonald's cut ties with then-CEO Steve Easterbrook last year , it said he had "demonstrated poor judgment involving a recent consensual relationship with an employee," and fired him without cause. McDonald's is continuing to investigate its former CEO Steve Easterbrook. "The Board will follow the facts wherever they may lead," the company said in a statement emailed to CNN Business on Wednesday.
