Will CNN Punish Chris Cuomo for Using Sources to Help Andrew Cuomo?

Chris Cuomo hosts a primetime CNN show on which he discusses national political issues.

Chris worked his sources to gather "Intel" on Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ronan Farrow's then-forthcoming story on Andrew's accusers at the request of DeRosa.

The documents released Monday also provide more details about how Cuomo offered his help with Andrew's crisis management effort.

The documents released Monday include text messages in which Cuomo informs DeRosa that one of his friends had Alec Baldwin go on an anti-cancel culture rant defending Andrew Cuomo and Woody Allen.

CNN acknowledged in May that Cuomo advising his brother's efforts to weather the scandal was inappropriate, but excused it in part by noting that he had "Not been involved in CNN's extensive coverage of the allegations against Governor Cuomo - on air or behind the scenes." Chris apologized on the air.

CNN and Cuomo may have acknowledged that participating in meetings with his brother's team was inappropriate, but using connections developed through his job as a political commentator to aid one of the nation's most powerful politicians as he tries to navigate a sexual misconduct scandal represents another level of unethical behavior.

Cuomo did not address the news on Monday night's episode of Cuomo Prime Time.
