Officials at CNN reportedly offered network host Chris Cuomo a “leave of absence” to advise brother Governor Andrew Cuomo amid his ongoing sexual-harassment scandal.
The idea was not a request, but rather an option that was floated after Chris Cuomo’s involvement in the governor’s strategic planning sessions was first uncovered in May, The New York Times reported, citing two sources familiar with the matter.
In response, Chris Cuomo, who reportedly makes $6 million a year, told the network that he wanted to continue in his primetime slot, and said he would obey rules that prevented him from commenting on the scandal, according to The Times.
Chris also vowed not to discuss his brother’s crisis-response strategy with anyone but Andrew Cuomo himself, according to the paper.
