Chris Cuomo was suspended by CNN for trying to protect his brother.
Chris was benched indefinitely by CNN after the New York Attorney General's Office released new evidence that shows he sent text messages to people on Andrew Cuomo's team in the middle of his sexual harassment scandal.

Here's the full statement from CNN PR. ChrisCuomo is suspended pending further evaluation.

Chris admitted to CNN that he had broken the network's rules by offering advice to his brother's staff.
A network rep says they understood where he was coming from, but in light of the documents, they say they know more about his involvement. He's been suspended pending further evaluation.
IcyMI... Anna Ruch accused Andrew of kissing her at a wedding and Chris sent her a text about it. The staffer of Andrew's was allegedly written to by CC. He said he had a lead on the wedding girl.

Chris was reaching out to his media industry sources to find out who else might be coming forward with allegations against his brother.
