The network says the producer had been "disciplined."
CNN has apologized to Donald Trump after a producer was caught on camera joking with reporter Suzanne Malveaux about the president-elect's plane crashing.
The remark was made before a live shot on Thursday.
The unidentified producer, in footage obtained and posted on YouTube by Scott Jones of FTV Live, can be heard saying "That means his planes crashed. No, I'm kidding."
CNN released a statement Friday saying the producer had been "disciplined."
An unfortunate and inappropriate remark was made by one of our producers off camera yesterday," CNN said in its statement. "We have apologized to the Trump transition team, and the producer has been disciplined.
Trump has been a huge critic of the network essentially since he announced his bid for president, saying it has covered him unfairly. Even this week, he was criticizing the network through Twitter.

saying the producer had been “disciplined.”
Means he don’t get his free Starbucks next week
CNN is very dishonest, except when they get caught
“”We have apologized to the Trump transition team,”
Did they? I didn’t see that tweet from any of the team.
Fire him or else CNN is off the press pool
The time has come for all to complain to airport authorities about every airport in the world showing only CNN in the waiting lounges. Half of the screens should be showing Fox News. They are both available internationally. Diversity of opinion, don’t ya know...
“punished” for saying bad things about President-Elect Trump at CNN - what is that, like a commendation letter in his personnel file or is it a more tangible “punishment”, like a cash bonus?
These people are to filthy to flush down a toilet. CNN and the whole Liberal Establishment is Evil and dangerous to all civilized people!
She..............
Her...............
I don’t know why they apologized. They said exactly what the whole network feels. They hate Trump to the point of wishing him dead if it means their beloved Hillary would be president. Call it honesty in reporting.
Needs to be a firing or two to get the point across !
Donald...you keep tweeting to us personally. It's the voice we want to hear...not some ANALyst.
I’d remove CNN’s credentials on general principles, for the manner in which they covered and reported on the campaign, and especially Trump himself.
It....
How about no credentialed CNN reporter in the press room until Unknown Producer and Malvoex are fired ...
Disciplined just like the guy that edited the George Zimmerman tape
Here today in a post CNN gets government money.maybe some one can find the post or post response I got to go.
