CNN Fires Chris Cuomo Over His Involvement in Andrew Cuomo’s Sexual Misconduct Scandal

CNN has terminated Chris Cuomo.

The news network announced its decision Saturday afternoon, just days after it suspended the primetime anchor for his involvement in brother Andrew Cuomo’s sexual misconduct scandal.

“Chris Cuomo was suspended earlier this week pending further evaluation of new information that came to light about his involvement with his brother’s defense,” CNN said in a statement on Saturday. “We retained a respected law firm to conduct the review, and have terminated him, effective immediately. While in the process of that review, additional information has come to light. Despite the termination, we will investigate as appropriate.”

Cuomo also released a statement on his firing.
