The spectacular fallout from Cuomo's scandals continues apace

[View in browser]( [Mother Jones Daily Newsletter]( February 2, 2022 The media world is reeling over Jeff Zucker's abrupt announcement that, after nine years, he's stepping down as president of CNN, writing in a [company-wide memo]( that he had failed to disclose a "consensual relationship with my closest colleague." That bombshell resignation was made all the more explosive because Zucker's romance with Allison Gollust, a senior executive at the network, came to light amid the investigation into Chris Cuomo, the CNN anchor who was fired in December after helping his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, amid the [sexual misconduct investigation]( that led to his own resignation. It's a shocking end for Zucker, one of the most powerful men in media, who often chastised Donald Trump over his attacks on the media. The former president, who, yes, apparently is that bored, swiftly released [a statement]( relishing the news, calling Zucker a "world-class sleazebag." His adult son Donald Trump Jr. [chimed in with a very pathetic]( "If only Trump still had Twitter right now!!!" But despite some public gestures at feuding, Zucker [famously loved the ratings]( Trump delivered for the cable news network. It was also Zucker who, during his tenure at NBC, brought in Trump as the face of The Apprentice. So, it's safe to say that Trump will be at the center of Zucker's legacy. —Inae Oh Advertisement [UC Press - Lawson]( [Top Story] [Top Story]( [The Plan Was Simple: Infiltrate MAGA World and Tell Everyone What She Saw.
