CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin to Leave the Network
CNN’s Senior Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin announced his departure from the network on Friday after spending nearly 20 years at CNN.
Toobin announced his exit in a letter sent to his colleagues, according to Variety.
“I wanted to let you know that after twenty years I’ve decided to leave CNN after my vacation. It was great to spend my last day on air, like so many before, with my pals at Sit Room, AC360 and Don Lemon Tonight,” Toobin wrote.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022 ... e-network/Toobin, who joined CNN in 2002, was recently placed on an eight-month leave in fall 2020 after he was caught masturbating during a Zoom call with his colleagues at The New Yorker, where he had worked since 1993.
“I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends, and co-workers,” Toobin said in a statement shortly after the scandal.
After Toobin returned to CNN in June 2021, he told CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota, “I hope to be a better person off camera as well as on camera.”
Many of the quote tweets on Toobin’s reply-limited announcement referred to his masturbation scandal.
“You’re more of a solo act anyway,” tweeted Ryan James Girdusky.
