How the Fallout From Andrew Cuomo’s Resignation Spread to Jeff Zucker
The New York Times
Chris Cuomo and Mr. Zucker, the former CNN president, are among those whose careers have suffered in the year since the former governor was first accused of sexual harassment.
When former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York was facing a cascade of sexual harassment allegations last year, his instinct was not just to fight but to eviscerate.

An instinct to go for the jugular was a hallmark of the governor’s long political career.
