CNN’s Chris Cuomo Apologizes After Report He Advised His Brother, NY Gov., on Handling Scandal

CNN’s 📺Chris Cuomo is apologizing after a report revealed he was a part of “strategy” calls advising his brother New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) about sexual misconduct allegations.

During his show “Cuomo Prime Time,” 📺Chris Cuomo said, “I understand why that was a problem for CNN. It will not happen again.”

He added, “It was a mistake because I put my colleagues here, who I believe are the best in the business, in a bad spot. I never intended for that. I would never intend for that, and I am sorry for that.”

CNN issued a statement on Thursday confirming that 📺Chris Cuomo had been part of “strategy sessions” earlier this year, according to The Washington Post.

The primetime anchor had advised his brother and aides of the governor’s office “on how to respond to sexual harassment allegations made earlier this year by women who had worked with the governor,” the Post reports. 📺Chris Cuomo reportedly told his brother to take a “defiant” position and not resign.
