Toobin <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JeffreyToobin\/status\/1558176450087362562\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a> his departure on Twitter, noting that he would not return to CNN following his &#8220;vacation&#8221; and implying the decision was his alone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Was great to spend my last day on air with pals Wolf [Blitzer], Anderson [Cooper] and Don [Lemon],&#8221; Toobin wrote. &#8220;Love all my former colleagues. Watch for my next book, about the Oklahoma City bombing, coming in 2023 from @simonandschuster.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The <em>New Yorker<\/em> gave Toobin the <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/jeffrey-toobin-fired\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pink slip<\/a> in November 2020 following the masturbation incident. The publication said its decision was based on a desire to foster\u00a0&#8220;an environment where everyone feels respected and upholds our standards of conduct.&#8221; CNN felt otherwise, allowing the legal analyst to take &#8220;time off while he deals with a personal issue.&#8221; The network <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/jeffrey-toobin-rises-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">welcomed him back<\/a> on the air in June 2021. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t think other people could see [the masturbating],&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the outrageous episode of indecent exposure, Toobin is best known for <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/toobin-supreme-court-abortion-mistress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attempting to bribe<\/a> his much younger mistress \u2014 who was also his co-worker&#8217;s daughter \u2014 to get an abortion in 2008. The journalist reportedly told the woman, Casey Greenfield, that he was &#8220;going leave his wife for her.&#8221; Upon learning she was pregnant, however, Toobin &#8220;questioned the paternity, balked at submitting to a test, and vowed to take no responsibility for a baby he wasn&#8217;t sure was his.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media Disgraced CNN journalist throws in the towel after 20 years  Andrew Stiles \u2022 August 12, 2022 4:50 pm Jeffrey Toobin, the disgraced legal analyst who<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":97,"featured_media":1890111,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1603769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1603769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/97"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1603769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1603769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1890111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1603769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1603769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1603769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
