BREAKING: CNN says host Chris Cuomo is 'suspended indefinitely' after it was revealed he used his media sources to find out info on brother Andrew’s accusers

Meghan McCain slammed CNN anchor Chris Cuomo in a Tuesday op-ed for The Daily Mail, calling him "unfit" for the job in the wake of allegations that he worked to defend his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), during his sexual harassment scandal. In the opinion piece, McCain questions why CNN hasn't already fired Cuomo, insinuating that CNN President Jeff Zucker may be attempting to save his own reputation. "Seriously, what does Chris Cuomo know about Jeff Zucker that is so compromising that Jeff doesn't want the American public to know?" she asks. "At this point, I can't...

Chris Cuomo, host of CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time, used his media sources to dig up info on his brother, former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s, sexual harassment accusers, according to texts and interview transcripts recently revealed. Text messages released by New York Attorney General Letitia James show Chris Cuomo had frequent contact with Melissa DeRosa, Andrew Cuomo’s top aide at the time.

Disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s approach to the pandemic was largely fueled by politics and preserving his own ego rather than actual science, according to a new report. Former state health officials described the Cuomo administration as a "frantic" environment where public health experts "were not just overruled, but constantly responding to Cuomo's ‘ridiculous demands’ that were expected to take precedence," Politico reported Friday.

Ho ho, no … Cuo! CNN anchor Chris Cuomo did some wreath shopping after trashing Christmas in a Thanksgiving rant about holidays and cancel culture pushed by “woke folks.” Cuomo, spotted Thursday loading some wreaths into his car’s trunk in Amagansett, had said earlier on his Sirius radio podcast that Thanksgiving was his favorite holiday, though he fumed that “woke people” are ruining it for him — and that Dec. 25 isn’t one of his faves.

Disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) posted a Thanksgiving message with a picture showing his mother and three daughters on Thursday.

ALBANY, N.Y. — Members of New York’s ethics commission voted overwhelmingly to rescind approval of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s $5.1 million book deal Tuesday. The committee’s vote comes over a year since the October 2020 publication of Cuomo’s book “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic,” which largely recounts the governor’s once-daily press conferences last spring. Tuesday’s vote means Cuomo will have to apply again for approval for his book deal. McNamara and other commissioners have said they want to claw back at least some of Cuomo’s book deal proceeds. It’s unclear whether the state could go after all...

A female event organizer told state probers in cringe-worthy detail how then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo allegedly “grabbed my butt” — and her shock at being “assaulted by the governor.’’ The woman was at a Hudson River revitalization event Sept. 14, 2019, when she said Cuomo grabbed her arm “to pull me into the photo,’’ according to explosive transcripts released by the state attorney general’s office last week. “At the conclusion of the photo he took his hand and double tapped the area where my butt and my thigh meet, so kind of under my butt cheek,” the stunned worker told investigators...

With a boss like this… Disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo would regularly lash out at his senior staff — and once told a top aide, “You’re lucky that I don’t throw you out the window,” according to one of his accusers. Brittany Commisso — whose groping allegation led to criminal charges being filed against Cuomo last month — described the then-gov’s infamous short fuse to outside lawyers probing the sexual misconduct claims against him. “He would go from zero to 60 in .2 seconds depending on the situation,” Commisso said during a May 17 deposition, the transcript of which was released...

These transcripts follow the August release of the New York attorney general report concluding that Cuomo had sexually harassed several women, some of whom were state employees, according to The New York Times.

New York’s ex-creep-in-chief Andrew Cuomo lives up to the billing of his sex accusers in a scathing new tome by a female former press secretary.

Disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Sunday accused Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple and state Attorney General Letitia James of "incompetence" and "abuse of law" after he was charged with a misdemeanor sex crime last week. "In the last 72 hours, Sheriff Apple and Tish James have epitomized the worst combination of politics, incompetence and abuse of the law," the Democrat tweeted.

When the news of an alleged incident of sexual misconduct against then Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) came to light in March, it was reported that it could arise to the "level of a crime." Sure enough, on Thursday, the now former governor was charged with a misdemeanor after a criminal complaint was filed in Albany City Court accusing him of "knowingly and intentionally the class A misdemeanor of Forcible Touching," as reported by the New York Post. According to the complaint, a person is guilty of such a misdemeanor when "intentionally, and for no legitimate purpose forcibly touches the sexual...

Disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo is expected to be arrested next week and charged with a misdemeanor in the alleged groping of a former aide, The Post has learned.

The announcement of the charge was chaotic on Thursday; the criminal summons was filed hastily, before sheriff's deputies had received the permission of Commisso. It was then leaked to a local reporter in Albany, who tweeted about it and published a brief report on New York...

Veteran journalist Katie Couric is criticizing CNN for allowing primetime anchor Chris Cuomo to joke with his brother Andrew, then the governor of New York, on air during the coronavirus pandemic. "CNN should be able to say 'we shouldn't allow Chris Cuomo to yuk it up with his brother, the governor of New York with a giant Q-tip in the middle of the pandemic because it's good TV," Couric said Tuesday during an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." "They should say, 'We made a bad decision; that was wrong.' And I think it's important for people to...

In the wake of Nets star Kyrie Irving’s apparent refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19, the 29-year-old will not play until he does, the team announced in a surprise statement Tuesday morning. Exactly one week before the Nets kick off their regular season against the Bucks, the team announced Irving will not practice or play — even during away games, where he is allowed to participate. “Given the evolving nature of the situation and after thorough deliberation, we have decided Kyrie Irving will not play or practice with the team until he is eligible to be a full participant,” the...

A federal appeals court Tuesday unanimously rejected a suit filed by ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo to overturn a tax overhaul law approved by former President Donald Trump in 2017 that limited federal deductions on state and local taxes. The $1.5 trillion law imposed a $10,000 cap on itemized SALT deductions that taxpayers could write-off on their federal returns, which provided Trump and the then-Republican-led Congress more revenues to pay for other federal tax cuts. The SALT cap largely affects the wealthiest taxpayers in high tax Democratic states in the Northeast — New York and New Jersey, and Connecticut, as well as...

Andrew Cuomo enjoyed a day out on the water with his Siberian Shepherd mix 'Captain' after reports that he allegedly tried to give the difficult dog away and left him behind before moving out of the governor's mansion last month. The 63-year-old disgraced governor posted a photo of himself rubbing noses with the dog on Instagram Tuesday morning along with the caption, 'The fall bass run is coming & Captain is ready.' Cuomo was likely referring to the prime fishing season for bass, which feed near shallow waters in the fall ahead of the colder winter months. The lovey-dovey display...
