Last week, CNN Legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin returned to CNN airwaves following an eight-month hiatus due to an incident where he exposed himself on a Zoom call with colleagues at The New Yorker.
Nonetheless, the legal analyst is ready to put that behind him as Politico Playbook wrote that the network contributor was out mixing and mingling with colleagues. Toobin was a guest of a guest at a party in Manhattan to celebrate the paperback release of CNN’s Brian Stelter’s book “Hoax.”
“It’s in the past; people have moved on,” Toobin told Politico.
Politico spotted the CNN contributor having a deep discussion with New York Times media columnist Ben Smith. Toobin was also hanging out beside a number of the network’s top anchors and hosts.
In a first appearance on the network since the incident, the legal anaylst addressed the matter during an appearance on “CNN Newsroom.”
“I’m sorry to the people who read my work and who watched me on CNN who thought I was a better person than this. And so, you know, I got a lot to rebuild, but I feel very privileged and very lucky that I’m going to be able to try to do that,” Toobin said.
