Sounds like Ailes and "Wild Bill Clinton" could be best buds.

Monica Lewinsky -- The White House intern's affair during Clinton's first term in the President's private rooms in the West Wing is the most famous Clinton sex scandal of all, and eventually leading to Clinton's impeachment by the House. He was acquitted by the Senate. Clinton has admitted the relationship, telling the nation in a televised address that, "Indeed I did have a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky that was not appropriate."

Allegations of non-consensual encounters

Juanita Broaddrick -- The Arkansas nursing home administrator alleged in a 1999 Dateline NBC interview that Clinton had raped her in 1978, when she visited Little Rock for a nursing home seminar. The White House denied the allegations in 1999.

Paula Jones -- Jones has said that in 1991, Clinton propositioned her for sex and exposed himself when she was escorted to his room at a Little Rock hotel. She filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Clinton in 1994 -- two days before a three-year statute of limitations would have expired. Clinton agreed to a settlement in 1998 and paid Jones and her attorneys $850,000. And it was during that case that he initially denied having a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

Kathleen Willey -- The Democratic activist and White House volunteer said that in 1993, Bill Clinton grabbed and kissed her in the Oval Office's private study. Heckled over the accusation at a campaign event in New Hampshire on Sunday by a GOP state representative, Hillary Clinton emphatically declined to comment.
"You are very rude, and I'm not ever going to call on you," Clinton said forcefully, looking directly at the woman. "Thank you."
Allegations of affairs

Gennifer Flowers -- During Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign, Flowers said she'd had a 12-year sexual relationship with Clinton -- reversing course from her earlier denial of such a relationship. In 1998, while under oath, Clinton admitted to a sexual encounter with Flowers.

Dolly Kyle Browning -- Clinton's high school friend said in a sworn declaration in 1998 that the two had off-and-on sexual encounters from the mid-1970s through January 1992. Clinton has not publicly responded to the allegation.

Elizabeth Ward Gracen -- The woman who won the Miss America crown at the age of 21 in 1982 reversed her six-year-old denial in 1998 and said she'd had a one-night stand with Clinton in 1982. Clinton has denied the accusations.

Sally Perdue -- The 1958 Miss Arkansas said in 1994 that she'd had an affair with Clinton while he was governor of Arkansas in 1983. She said she was told not to reveal the affair by a Democratic staffer in 1992 who she said warned "they knew that I went jogging by myself and he couldn't guarantee what would happen to my pretty little legs." Clinton also has not publicly responded to the allegation.

Gretchen signed a contract with an arbitration clause, but the wording is unclear, which is apparently the reason she didn't name FOX in her lawsuit...good point...hope it stands up in court.

This must not be true... cant find anything about it on Drudge

Multiple women reportedly taped conversations with former Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, and the recordings could play a crucial role in the sexual harassment suit against Ailes.

The tapes, Vanity Fair reported Tuesday, could prompt 21st Century Fox and Ailes into settling the lawsuit filed by former network host Gretchen Carlson to the tune of eight figures.

Ailes, 76, resigned on July 21, just 15 days after Carlson's suit was filed in Bergen County, N.J.

21st Century Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch is serving as interim chairman and CEO until a permanent replacement is found. A source close to the situation told The Hill in late July that it could be "many months" until a permanent replacement is found.

On Monday, Ailes's lawyers dropped a motion to move the lawsuit from New Jersey to a federal court in New York. The New Jersey court will now decide if the case will go to trial or arbitration.

The Vanity Fair report comes as another Fox News host, Andrea Tantaros, alleged via her attorney that Ailes engaged in inappropriate conduct with her as well.

Tantaros hasn't been on the air since April over what the network says is a "contract dispute."

Yep, Fox Lawyers have a great theory.....a contract to prostitute yourself is void ab initio against public policy........fair and balanced.....brought to you by hookers for trump. It is all President Obama's fault.

It'll be a sequel to the Bill O'Reilly case.  The last thing O'Reilly wanted then and the last thing Ailes wants now is a public trial with these women on the witness stand testifying in front of the American public.  They'll settle it.
Of course O'Reilly even demanded a non-disclosure provision in the settlement which made the woman have to give up the money if she talked about it in public after the settlement.  And like O'Reilly and Bill Cosby,  Ailes definitely does have enough money to make that happen if these women were willing to go along with it.  We'll see.
