[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] Chris Cuomo, the flagship anchor of the US CNN, has been fired. This came after it was revealed that he was deeply involved in managing the sexual misconduct scandal of his older brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
On the 4th (local time), CNN announced that it had terminated Chris Cuomo, one of the company's anchors. CNN stated, "We have hired top law firm attorneys for a thorough investigation, have parted ways with Cuomo, and this termination is effective immediately."
On the 30th of last month, CNN had imposed an indefinite suspension on Chris. Subsequently, an external law firm reviewed whether his conduct was inappropriate.
During this process, CNN reported that new information was discovered. According to newly obtained testimonies, Chris Cuomo was involved in his brother's political issues far more deeply than the scope CNN had previously acknowledged. However, CNN has not disclosed specific details.
