Chris Cuomo speaks out after being recently suspended from CNN indefinitely.
The news anchor didn't shy away from the issue when he opened his SiriusXM show, on Wednesday, saying he's embarrassed by the situation but understands why CNN brass made the decision.
"Quick note about the obvious," Cuomo said in his opening remarks."I've been suspended from CNN. You know this already. It hurts to even say it. It's embarrassing, but I understand it." The 51-year-old newsman also addressed criticism he faced amid allegations he was much more involved in helping his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo,"And I understand why some people feel the way they do about what I did," Cuomo said."I've apologized in the past. I mean it. It's the last thing I ever wanted to do was compromise any of my colleagues. And do anything but help. I know they have a process that they think is important. I respect that process.
The suspension came on the heels of newly surfaced documents released this week that showed text messages between the TV journalist and his brother's top aide, Melissa DeRosa. The documents allegedly indicated Cuomo may have used his sources as a journalist and media personality to assist in his brother's defense and public statements, according to
