Read our privacy policy CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has been accused of ignoring the scandal surrounding his brother, New York governor Andrew Cuomo, after the Democrat was found to have sexually harassed 11 women following an investigation. Hours after the allegations were aired, his brother and CNN host Chris Cuomo opened his show without referencing the investigation carried out by New York’s attorney general. CNN, amid calls for Mr Cuomo to resign from his nightly show, referred Buzfeed News to earlier statements on its reporting of investigations into New York’s governor, and his brother’s role in it. CNN’s chief media correspondent, Brian Stelter, wrote in a Tweet on Wednesday that although “Chris Cuomo didn't say anything about his brother on CNN Tuesday night” the 50-year-old “had been steeling himself for the AG report”.
