CNN host Chris Cuomo used his sources in the media world to seek information on women who accused his brother Andrew Cuomo, then the governor of New York, of sexual harassment, according to documents released Monday by the New York Attorney General’s Office.

While Chris Cuomo has previously acknowledged advising his brother and his team on the response to the scandals, the records show that his role in helping the then-governor was much larger and more intimate than previously known.

Chris Cuomo was actively in touch with Melissa DeRosa, who was the then-governor’s top aide, about incoming media reports that detailed alleged sexual harassment by Andrew Cuomo, according to exhibits from the Attorney General’s probe and a transcript of his interview with the state’s investigators. He also lobbied to help the governor’s office as it sought to weather the storm of accusations, and he dictated statements for the then-governor to use.

“Please let me help with the prep,” Chris Cuomo said to DeRosa in one message in early March. Then, three days after the New York Times reported in March about how Andrew Cuomo attempted to kiss a woman, Anna Ruch, in an unwanted advance at a wedding, Chris Cuomo texted DeRosa: “I have a lead on the wedding girl.”

CNN issued a comment hours after the publication of this article, saying the news organization would be reviewing the documents.

1. Whoops...

[Maru Kitteh]

2. I hope Chris loses HIS job, too.

Disgusting.

[IcyPeas]

3. Ethics.... remember them?

[demmiblue]

4. Whoa, I just read the thread about this in LBN.

[CentralMass]

5. Very unethical.

6. "I have a lead on the wedding girl."

Excuse me, but ARE you implying your brother was hitting up a girl and NOT a woman?


For shame for shame!

7. No real surprise here beyond

those being surprised about him doing so.

CNN (and the rest of cable noise) is nothing more than drama TV designed to fill airtime.

[Carlitos Brigante]

10. Agreed. I can get more actual information spending one hour here. Than

watching that horseshit for 48.

[Raine]

8. So sleazy 👎 I hope his ass is fired

but they'll probably keep him on.

9. Getting in touch with Governor's top aide ain't bad. But snooping on women thru sources sure is.

11. Another example of the double standard - Dems are crucified and Rethugs are ignored.

I fear it is a losing proposition for our party. A circular firing squad.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. Shitting all over women is a losing proposition for our party.

Standing up for sleazy monsters that deride, intimidate and trash women in order to satisfy their sexist egos and base gratification - THAT is a losing proposition for our party.

12. They are both unworthy of their last name.

Their father was a Democratic icon, and I was proud to have him as my governor. They both need to go away.
