The Chris Cuomo era is officially over at CNN. The network terminated the former anchor Saturday following an indefinite suspension for his involvement in his brother’s sexual misconduct scandal.

Cuomo has denied any wrongdoing in this case. In May, Cuomo was reportedly told by CNN to stop communicating with his brother’s aides.

In August, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation over a barrage of sexual harassment alle
