Between segments on President Donald Trump’s tax plan, which would be signed into law four days later, and a blackout at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport that grounded more than four hundred flights, New Day anchor Chris Cuomo—his smiling face appearing above a banner that blared “‘WeWork’ Helps Veteran’s Vision Come True”—lauded the real-estate company for “doing the right thing” even when it didn’t “have to.”…

What Cuomo did not say was that the bizarre segment was engineered and aired to keep quiet a former colleague at a different network who had accused him of sexual misconduct and who was, in 2017, doing public relations for WeWork…

The allegation that Cuomo dangled a professional favor in an attempt to silence a former colleague was leveled in a Dec. 1 letter from attorney Debra Katz to CNN. A New York Times report in February revealed the existence of the letter, but did not indicate whether any segment had gone to air nor what company Cuomo had arranged to promote. It is unclear what the precise nature of the conversations between Cuomo and his former colleague were leading up to the segment, and Katz did not respond to repeated inquiries from the Washington Free Beacon. She has attempted to dissuade others from writing about the segment, sources say, citing her client’s desire to remain anonymous.
