After the suspension decided on Tuesday, CNN finally fired Chris Cuomo, accused of helping his brother Andrew in the affair of the sex scandal involving the former governor of the State of New York. Chris, one of the most well-known faces of the all news broadcaster, had been part of the “crisis unit” set up by his brother to face the accusations that had been made against him.
“This is not the way I would like to end my time at CNN, but I have already told why and how I helped my brother,” Chris Cuomo said in a statement, saying he was “annoyed” by being forced to leave the station, where he had worked since 2013. Chris, 51, had already apologized for “advising” his brother Andrew.
New documents released by the New York Attorney General, Letitia James, however, revealed that the CNN anchorman would actually downplay his role in the affair, to the point of abusing his role as a journalist, to find out what information they had in hand. others on colleagues and “sources” regarding the investigation of the former governor.
