Jeffrey Toobin is leaving CNN after two decades on the network — where he survived a masturbation scandal that got him fired from the New Yorker magazine. The commentator made the abrupt announcement Friday on Twitter as CNN was not expected to renew his contract, according to Deadline. “Friends, I’ve decided that, after 20 years, I’m leaving @cnn after my vacation,” Toobin tweeted. Toobin was fired from the New Yorker for masturbating on a Zoom call. Former CNN boss Jeff Zucker, who some critics credited with the decision to retain Toobin, left the station earlier this year.
