Text Messages Released By New York AG Show CNN’s Chris Cuomo Was Running Interference for His Brother
New text messages released by the New York Attorney General reveal that CNN’s Chris Cuomo was pleading with Andrew Cuomo’s top aide Melissa DeRosa to allow him to run interference in his brother’s misconduct allegations.
The text messages completely contradict what Cuomo told his viewers that he was doing.
DeRosa told investigators that the CNN host was offering unsolicited advice on how to “prep” and run cover for his brother after the allegations of sexual harassment were made by Charlotte Bennett.
“Chris sends me a lot of things a lot of the time. Half of it I don’t engage in. He gives unsolicited advice,” DeRosa said.
The text messages between Chris Cuomo and DeRosa show the pundit telling the aide what the official statement “should have said” and admitting his friend asked actor Alec Baldwin to defend his politician brother.
