CNN’s Chris Cuomo Will Not Face Discipline by Network for Advising Brother Andrew Cuomo on Escaping Allegations of Sexual Misconduct

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo will not face discipline by the network for advising his brother, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), on how to escape allegations of sexual misconduct.
The Washington Post reported:
Chris Cuomo “joined a series of conference calls that included the Democratic governor’s top aide, his communications team, lawyers and a number of outside advisers” to help “his brother to take a defiant position and not to resign from the governor’s office” by apparently using the phrase “cancel culture.”
CNN issued a statement to WaPo in which they wrote Chris Cuomo “will not be disciplined” for not upholding journalistic standards of integrity:
Chris has not been involved in CNN’s extensive coverage of the allegations against Governor Cuomo — on air or behind the scenes. In part because, as he has said on his show, he could never be objective. But also because he often serves as a sounding board for his brother.
However, it was inappropriate to engage in conversations that included members of the Governor’s staff, which Chris acknowledges. He will not participate in such conversations going forward.
