Critics have since speculated CNN didn\u2019t take action on any scandals sooner because his show was the highest rated program on the network.\u00a0BackgroundOver the spring and summer, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was accused by multiple women of sexual assault and harassment. When those allegations first came out, Chris Cuomo, Andrew\u2019s brother, claimed on his CNN show he would not be covering the case because he wouldn\u2019t be able to do so objectively.\u00a0In May, it was revealed he had taken part in calls with Governor Cuomo and his top advisers as they planned out a response to the scandal. At the time, the full extent of his involvement was not yet known, and CNN said his conduct was \u201cinappropriate\u201d but chose not to punish him. A few months later, as rumors continued to circulate about his involvement, he went on air with a vehement denial.\u00a0New RevelationsOn Monday, the New York Attorney General\u2019s office released new information about their investigation into Governor Cuomo with overwhelming evidence showing Chris Cuomo was more involved than he initially claimed.\u00a0In March, Cuomo\u2019s top adviser, Melissa DeRosa, emailed him saying \u201crumor going around 1 to 2 more people coming out tomorrow, can you check your sources,\u201d to which he replied \u201cOn it.\u201d He also looked into the background of one accuser who said Governor Cuomo kissed her against her will at a wedding. He emailed DeRosa again saying, \u201cI have a lead on wedding girl.\u201dAccording to the Attorney General\u2019s office, Chris Cuomo admitted in testimony he would reach out to fellow reporters and insider sources for information about women who\u2019d already made accusations against his brother, as well as information on those who were about to come forward with accusations.\u00a0Fred Lee\/Getty ImagesOther Stories We\u2019re TrackingPeng ShuaiThe head of the Women\u2019s Tennis Association announced Wednesday it will suspend all WTA tournaments in China.
