CNN News Chris Cuomo indefinitely suspendedThe news broke just before broadcast night news broadcasts began at 6:30 Eastern on Tuesday night. Anderson Cooper, the host of CNN’s evening newscasts, made the first mention of the change on the air. It was a brief note that lasted less than one minute. Cuomo Prime TimeHe would usually air, announcing the second hour. AC360The timeslot would then be taken over by.
It is time to turn away Zoom masturbator and chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, Cooper announced at the start of the 56-second brief that he had “[s]Here’s the latest news about this network. Chris Cuomo is the host. Cuomo Prime Time.”
“New documents released this week indicated that Chris was more intimately involved than previously known in helping his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo craft a defense amid a flurry of sexual misconduct allegations,” he added.
Cooper then simply took the Jeff Zucker-approved CNN Statement and described it as being from an unknown spokesperson.
Here’s a statement released tonight from a CNN spokesperson. Quote, “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, raised serious questions.”
The spokesperson continued, quote, “When Chris admitted to us he had offered advice to his brother’s staff he broke our rules and we acknowledged that publicly, but we also appreciated the position he was in and his need to put family first and his job second. However, these documents point to a greater level of involvement in his brother’s efforts than we previously knew.”
The spokesperson added, “As a result, we have suspended Chris indefinitely, pending further evaluation.”
“The second hour of 360 is right after the break,” he concluded.
The excitement generated by Cuomo’s suspension might be tempered by the fact that Cooper read that statement while seated next to Toobin, who managed to return from his own indefinite suspension.
On the other end of the Cuomo’s former hour, Cooper’s apparent attempt to keep the tradition of friendly banter with CNN host Don Lemon fell flat:

Lemon also shared encouraging words of encouragement with his friend. “I am grateful for your friendship and you’re love. Your kindness is amazing. Here you are. I meant every word,” he said.
