CNN Suspends Chris Cuomo Indefinitely Over Role in Brother’s Response to Sexual-Misconduct Allegations
CNN suspended prime-time anchor Chris Cuomo indefinitely after records released this week by the New York attorney general’s office provided a detailed look into his efforts to help his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, respond to allegations of sexual misconduct.
In a statement released Tuesday, CNN said that the records “raise serious questions” about Chris Cuomo’s conduct. “These documents point to a greater level of involvement in his brother’s efforts than we previously knew,” a CNN spokesman said. “As a result, we have suspended Chris indefinitely, pending further evaluation.”
