Jeffrey Toobin suspended after exposing himself on Zoom call.

Jeffrey Toobin suspended after exposing himself on Zoom call.

CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin was suspended from the New Yorker after he exposed himself during a Zoom call between staffers from the New Yorker and WNYC radio last week.

“I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers”, Toobin said in a statement. “I believed I was not visible on Zoom. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video.” 

“Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended while we investigate the matter,” a spokesperson for the New Yorker said in a statement.

Toobin is also taking a break from CNN to “deal with personal issues” the network said on Monday.
