NEW YORK: The New Yorker fired veteran writer Jeffrey Toobin after he reportedly spoke out during a Zoom conference last month.
He has already been suspended and is also on leave from CNN, where he is chief legal analyst.
“Today I was fired by @NewYorker after 27 years as a copywriter. I will always love the magazine, miss my colleagues and look forward to reading their work, ”Toobin tweeted on Wednesday (November 11).
In a company memo, Conde Nast’s chief personnel officer Stan Duncan wrote that his “investigation into Jeffrey Toobin is complete and, as a result, he is no longer affiliated with our company.”
“I want to assure everyone that we take workplace issues very seriously. We are committed to fostering an environment in which everyone feels respected and upholds our standards of conduct, ”Duncan said.
Toobin, 60, is one of the nation’s leading legal authors and commentators. He is a former associate attorney for the Department of Justice who, for the New Yorker, has written about everything from the OJ Simpson murder trial to President Donald Trump’s impeachment hearings.
He has been on CNN since 2002 and is the author of several books, the most recent True Crimes And Misdemeanors: The Investigation Of Donald Trump, published in August. His 1996 book The Run Of His Life: The People v. OJ Simpson was adapted into an FX series.
