• Toobin says I thought I had muted the Zoom video' in apology

The New Yorker magazine has suspended one of its long-time staff writers, legal expert Jeffrey Toobin, while it investigates a report that he was allegedly masturbating during a Zoom work call earlier this month.

I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera," Toobin said in a statement on Monday about the situation, first reported by Vice.
