CNN has fired anchor Chris Cuomo after details emerged about how he assisted his brother, former New York governor Andrew Cuomo, as the politician faced sexual harassment allegations earlier this year.

The network suspended Chris Cuomo earlier in the week to investigate his involvement with his brother’s defence.

“We have retained a respected law firm to conduct the review and have terminated him, effective immediately,” CNN said in a statement on Saturday afternoon. “While in the process of that review, additional information has come to light. Despite the termination, we will investigate as appropriate.”
