CNN fired Chris Cuomo, its most-watched anchor, on Saturday in the wake of revelations he had helped his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, while he faced multiple accusations of sexual harassment, doing so in ways of which CNN management had not previously been aware and breaching the traditional ethics of journalism.
The WarnerMedia-backed news outlet, which suspended Chris Cuomo earlier this week, said it would continue its investigation into the work he did for his sibling.
The company also said it had retained an outside law firm to conduct its review, citing “additional information that has come to light.”
CNN said it intends to continue to investigate its former employee’s behavior despite its decision.
