Chris Cuomo says he ‘lost a sense of purpose’ after CNN exit

Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo spoke out on how he and his brother Andrew are doing after facing their high-profile exits from the network and the New York governorship respectively last year.

Mr. Cuomo said he “lost a sense of purpose” after he was fired from the network over being too involved in helping his brother fight sexual misconduct allegations brought forward by several women.

“This is my brother, obviously I’m not objective. Obviously, I’m going to help him,” said Mr. Cuomo, who appeared on Friday’s edition HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

The former primetime CNN anchor made the revelations after news that he had been hired by cable news network NewsNation where he will host a talk show beginning in October.
