Jeffry Toobin is a senior analyst for CNN. He confirmed in his tweet that he has been fired.

The New Yorker wrote in an email to staff: “I want to assure everyone that we take workplace matters seriously.”

According to the initial story, the senior colleagues had seen Mr Toobin doing some bawdy acts while apparently on a separate video call.

After his suspension, Toobin said he had believed himself to be off-camera during the incident.

The obscene incident took place on October 15 and Toobin was immediately suspended.
