The New Yorker has suspended staff writer Jeffrey Toobin after he reportedly exposed himself during a Zoom meeting last week. According to a story first posted by Vice, Toobin’s transgression occurred during a virtual conference between New Yorker staff and local radio station WNYC. In a statement to Vice, Toobin called the incident “an embarrassingly stupid mistake.”He added, “I apologise to my wife, family, friends and co-workers.”The reporter, who is also CNN’s chief legal analyst, said the entire incident was accidental. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video,” he told Vice.
