Who is Chris Cuomo's older brother?

Chris is the younger brother of Andrew Cuomo, and the nature of their relationship was put under a microscope when the former New York governor was accused by multiple women of sexual harassment. Andrew was forced to resign as New York governor after these allegations were brought forth and was later replaced by New York Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul on August 24.

It was revealed in May of 2021 that Chris took part in strategy calls that instructed his big brother how to respond to the numerous allegations.

On November 30, 2021 it was announced that Chris was suspended from the network as a result of messages that appeared to show him helping Andrew during the sexual harassment scandal.

A CNN spokesperson stated: "The New York Attorney General's office released transcripts and exhibits Monday that shed new light on Chris Cuomo's involvement in his brother's defense.

"The documents, which we were not privy to before their public release, raise serious questions.

"When Chris admitted to us that he had offered advice to his brother's staff, he broke our rules and we acknowledged that publicly."

"But we also appreciated the unique position he was in and understood his need to put family first and job second."

"However, these documents point to a greater level of involvement in his brother's efforts than we previously knew,.
