CNN suspended host Chris Cuomo after documents released by the New York Attorney General’s office showed he used his journalistic position to gather information about sexual-harassment accusations against his brother, Andrew Cuomo, who was then serving as New York’s governor.
“The documents, which we were not privy to before their public release, raise serious questions,” CNN said in a statement, adding that they “point to a greater level of involvement in his brother’s efforts than we previously knew.”
