Disgraced ex-New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and his newshound brother, Chris Cuomo, are still thick as thieves even though the disgraced politician hasn't appeared on Chris' new NewsNation show. Sources snitched the network banned Andrew, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The news comes as no surprise seeing how the brothers' relationship got Chris, 52, canned from CNN following Andrew's sexual misconduct scandal.
"For 20 years, Chris wasn't part of the governor's political career just as the governor never went on Chris' show, other than one exception during the pandemic," noted a source. "The brothers have been seen together thousands of times and will continue to do so."
As RadarOnline.com reported, Chris' career was derailed in December 2021 when CNN “terminated” him as lead anchor, announcing the move was “effective immediately.” The network dropped the axe following an internal investigation after he was accused of using his sources to bury Andrew's scandal.
Months later, Chris filed a $125 million arbitration demand, claiming his firing from CNN destroyed his reputation and journalist credibility. In July 2022, he took the NewsNation job, with sources telling this outlet Chris agreed to a $5 million pay cut.
His new position came with plenty of drama.
