It was just a matter of time. After his recent indefinite suspension from the network, Chris Cuomo, former host of CNN’s Primetime, is now officially out of a job after the company conducted an internal investigation into Cuomo’s part in drafting public responses to his brother’s multiple sexual misconduct accusations.
“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.”
