Jeff Fager, the executive producer of "60 Minutes," will not return from vacation on Monday as an internal investigation at CBS News over alleged misconduct continues, CNN reported Sunday.

"Having heard the investigation will be wrapping up soon, Jeff has decided to stay on vacation," a CBS News spokesman told CNN.

Fager was part of a story in The New Yorker last month that included allegations that the longtime head of the newsmagazine made unwanted advances and enabled harassment by others in positions of power at the newsmagazine, CNN reported.

Fager has denied the allegations.
