CNN President Jeff tucker resigned earlier this month, telling staff he had failed to disclose a consensual relationship with a colleague. CNN anchor Brian Swelter said at the time that the relationship was with Tallest, the chief marketing officer for the network.

WarnerMedia confirmed Sallust's resignation in a statement.

It said the investigation, performed by an independent law firm and led by a former federal judge, was concluded over the weekend. Based on interviews with more than 40 people and a review of more than 100,000 texts and emails, the investigation found Pucker, Sallust and Cuomo had violated company policies.

I realize this news is troubling, disappointing, and frankly, painful to read. These are valid feelings many of you have, Kiley wrote in the memo. We have the highest standards of journalistic integrity at CNN, and those rules must apply to everyone equally. Given the information provided to me in the investigation, I strongly believe we have taken the right actions and the right decisions have been made.

In a comment on CNN's online portal, Sallust called WarnerMedia's statement deeply disappointing and an attempt to retaliate against me and change the media narrative in the wake of their disastrous handling of the last two weeks.

A spokesperson issued a statement on behalf of which the former prime time host claimed Pucker and Sallust were both aware and fully supportive of what he was doing to help his brother, Andrew Cuomo.

The still open question is when WarnerMedia is going to release the results of its investigation and explain its supposed basis for terminating Mr. Cuomo, the spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

Pucker could not immediately be reached for comment.

Her departure is the latest move after a network investigation into the conduct of Chris Cuomo, a prime time CNN anchor fired in December for allegedly assisting his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who was accused of misconduct. National Archives provided these documents to the current White House for review in late January, and they include visitor logs showing appointment information for individuals who were processed to enter the White House complex, including on January 6, 2021.

Remus explained the administration's decision by noting that, while Trump decided to block the visitor logs from public view on claims about national security, the Biden administration voluntarily discloses such visitor logs on a monthly basis, with some exceptions. Writes that Biden is also instructing the National Archives to provide these documents 15 days after its notification to the former President, unless prohibited by court order. If the 15-day period expires on a weekend or holiday, you should provide the records to the Select Committee on the next business day V also notes the committee has agreed to treat such entries associated with appointments designated as national-security sensitive or otherwise-highly sensitive (OHS) as confidential and to refrain from sharing CNN President Jeff resigned earlier this month, telling staff he had failed to disclose a consensual relationship with a colleague.
