Chris Cuomo used contacts to warn brother about sexual harassment reports

New evidence makes clearer CNN host's involvement in scandal that engulfed Andrew Cuomo's administration

Evidence released by New York's attorney general on Monday stoked speculation over Chris Cuomo's future at CNN, showing that the primetime host used media contacts to glean information about women accusing his brother, the then New York governor Andrew Cuomo, of sexual harassment - then sought to make his sibling aware of upcoming coverage.

A transcript of an interview with the younger Cuomo showed that at one point the TV host texted Melissa DeRosa, his brother's top aide, to say I have a lead on the wedding girl". It was a reference to Anna Ruch, a woman who accused Andrew Cuomo of attempting to kiss her at a wedding.
