The New Yorker has suspended reporter Jeffrey Toobin. Sources tell VICE its because he exposed himself during a Zoom call last week between members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio.
Toobin said in a statement to Motherboard: I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers.
I believed I was not visible on Zoom. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video, he added.
New Yorker spokesperson Natalie Raabe said: Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended while we investigate the matter.
Toobins Conde Nast email has been disabled and he has not tweeted since October 13. He did, however, appear on CNN, where he is the networks chief legal analyst, on Saturday. CNN did not respond to a request for comment.
Doubleday, an imprint of Random House, which published Toobins latest book did not respond to emails. Neither did Toobins literary agent Kristine Dahl nor Greater Talent Network, which represents Toobin. WNYC did not respond to a request for comment.

Why can’t they keep their clothes on?
However, Toobin's Zoom activity are very likely actionable. He has always been a creep. Best story of the week.
It’s twue...
After this, he'll probably be identified as 'frequent Fox New contributor, Jeffrey Toobin'...
Too bad.
What a dickhead, no pun intended...
always wear pants when working from home.
Jeffrey Toobin does have a child by a long-time mistress. They were both married to other people at the time. She refused his requests to have an abortion. Then he refused a paternity test. Now he pays child support. Daily News
Hi.
A DI once told me, you don’t stick your dick where you eat your lunch.
Yes, Sgt. Jones was a seer.

What!!! Another Dickcident? This has to end.
I’m sure their mamas and their rabbis taught them better.
You can change the default in your Zoom settings to turn off your video and mute your microphone whenever you join a meeting. OTOH, unless I know for a certainty otherwise, I always assume that the camera and mic are on.
When I had to start participating in Zoom conferences I bought a camera/microphone that plugs into a USB port in the front of my PC. Whenever I am not using it I unplug it.

First the love child, now this. His poor, poor wife.
Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper could not be reached for comment.
My, my, my, the wee Toobin has flopped;)
exactly. he got busted though
Why cant these morons keep their hands out of their pants?
Because they are people with no character. What they do when they think no one is watching, as in this instance, are who they truly are.
We’re hoping Toobin is back on CNN for election night. We had such fun watching Wolf Blitzer’s bottom lip quivering and Jeffrey Toobin’s seething anger as state after state went for Donald Trump in 2016. Great fun!
