"CNN announced that primetime news anchor Chris Cuomo has been “indefinitely” suspended from the network after documents released Monday revealed that he was much more heavily involved in helping his brother, Andrew Cuomo, strategically respond to harassment charges he faced earlier this year by gathering, investigating and ultimately reporting back information to his brother’s camp.

In the documents released by state investigators, Chris Cuomo can be seen exchanging emails and partaking in conversations regarding his brother’s strategy and statements to the media as well as suggesting he reach out to colleagues and contacts in the media to try to find out who (if anyone) else planned to come forward so that the Cuomo team could get ahead of it.

“The New York Attorney General's office released transcripts and exhibits Monday that shed new light on Chris Cuomo's involvement in his brother's defense … When Chris admitted to us he had offered advice to his brother's staff, he broke our rules and we acknowledged that publicly,” CNN acknowleged in a statement late Tuesday. “These documents point to a greater level of involvement in his brother's efforts than we previously knew. As a result, we have suspended Chris indefinitely, pending further evaluation.""
