Sciutto, who is also the network\u2019s chief national security correspondent, traveled to the Eastern European nation three times \u2014 in February, March, and April \u2014 to cover to ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/elink.thedailybeast.com\/view\/5b4ace787e55546bec167f8fhf0wr.b28\/ed565e6f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> published last week by The Daily Beast\u2019s Confider, on at least one of those trips \u2014 despite the fact that CNN offered a more direct flight back from Poland to the United States \u2014 Sciutto and his producer apparently opted to make a stop in the Dutch capital on his way home. While there, he suffered what was described as a \u201cserious fall.\u201d Confider noted that the anchor had \u201csince recovered,\u201d but was then \u201cdirected by CNN to address a \u2018personal situation.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neither CNN nor Sciutto has publicly addressed his absence from the airwaves.<\/p>\n<p>The network has appeared to struggle in the weeks and months since it merged with Warner Bros. Discovery and new head honcho Chris Licht took the reins. Licht has repeatedly and explicitly declared his intention to bring CNN back to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/cnn-announces-new-programming-plan-and-elon-musk-is-already-on-board\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more balanced approach<\/a> to reporting the news \u2014 and he has already presided over a number of shakeups within the company.<\/p>\n<p>Among the casualties so far are veteran media reporter <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-brian-stelter-out-at-cnn-after-network-cancels-his-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brian Stelter<\/a>, former chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, and longtime White House correspondent <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/cnn-white-house-correspondent-john-harwood-out-at-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Harwood<\/a>. And prior to the merger, former network chief Jeff Zucker resigned over a consensual but undisclosed relationship with Allison Gollust (she left CNN a short time later).
