New Yorker (CNN Business) Jeffrey Toobin, CNN's chief legal analyst and a renowned reporter for The New Yorker, has been sidelined at a pivotal moment in the run-up to the presidential election. The reason: He exposed himself during a Zoom call with colleagues in what he says was an accident. The New Yorker said that it had suspended Toobin following the incident, and said it was investigating the matter. A spokesperson for CNN said "Jeff Toobin has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted." Neither news outlet said how long Toobin would be out.
