US anchor Chris Cuomo has been fired by CNN for help he gave his brother, ex-New York governor Andrew Cuomo, while he was battling harassment allegations.
The decision came after CNN said additional information had emerged over the extent of Chris Cuomo’s involvement in his older brother’s defence.
Andrew Cuomo resigned in August after prosecutors said he had harassed staff.
He had worked for the network since 2013 and became one of its most recognisable presenters, most recently leading CNN’s coverage of the 2020 US presidential election.
