CNN has suspended Chris Cuomo indefinitely for his role in advising his brother, former Governor Andrew Cuomo during his sexual harassment crisis.

Cuomo, who works for CNN, used sources and other journalists to find out information on his brother’s accusers.

According to CNBC:

CNN on Tuesday said it suspended host Chris Cuomo indefinitely after documents revealed that his damage-control work during a sex harassment scandal for his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was much more complex than previously known.

“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,” a CNN spokeswoman said in an email to CNBC. “The documents, which we were not privy to before their public release, raise serious questions.”

“When Chris admitted to us that he had offered advice to his brother’s staff, he broke our rules and we acknowledged that publicly,” she said.

“But we also appreciated the unique position he was in and understood his need to put family first and job second. However, these documents point to a greater level of involvement in his brother’s efforts than we previously knew. As a result, we have suspended Chris indefinitely, pending further evaluation.”

The suspension came after a demand by Charlotte Bennett, a former aide to the Governor and one of his accusers.
