CNN President Jeff Zucker stood by Chris Cuomo final spring after revelations that the star anchor had helped his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, navigate a sexual-harassment scandal.
In a digital city corridor with staffers in Could, he conceded that Chris Cuomo had “made a mistake,” but in addition mentioned he wasn’t shocked that the anchor mentioned the matter together with his brother. Mr. Zucker mentioned suspending Chris Cuomo could be “punishment for the sake of punishing.”
