CNN’s Chris Cuomo is FIRED for helping brother Andrew in sex harassment scandal as network says ‘more info has come out’

“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.”

In his own Cuomo commented on his termination.

“This is not how I want my time at CNN to end but I have already told you why and how I helped my brother,” he said.

“So let me say as disappointing as this is, I could not be more proud of the team at Cuomo Prime Time and the work we did as CNN’s #1 show in the most competitive time slot.

I owe them all and will miss that group of special people who did really important work."

Some of Cuomo’s involvement in the former governor’s office was reported months ago but the specifics have come out following the release of documents that showed that the anchor was more involved than previously thought.

Text messages obtained by New York Attorney General, Letitia James, revealed that Chris Cuomo attempted to use his connections in the press to help the governor's team when his accusers made their stories public.

Chris Cuomo said he never reported on his brother’s scandal or tried to interfere with CNN’s coverage. He’s said he “tried to be there for my brother.”

“I’m not an adviser,” he added. “I’m a bother. I wasn’t in control of anything. I was there to listen and offer my take.”

CNN supported Chris Cuomo, allowing his Cuomo Prime Time show to say on the air during the scandal.

But the network ultimately suspended him on Tuesday following the new information.

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

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

The network added that the released documents point to “a greater involvement in his brother’s effort than we previously knew” which led to his suspension.
