CNN President Jeff Zucker abruptly resigned Wednesday after acknowledging a consensual relationship with another network executive - an entanglement that came to light during an investigation of now-fired anchor Chris Cuomo.
CNN President Jeff Zucker said he acknowledged the relationship when asked about it as part of an investigation into Chris Cuomo, the former CNN anchor who was fired after it was discovered he aided his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, as he navigated a sexual harassment investigation. “I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t,” Zucker wrote. “I was wrong.”
