Although Jeffrey Toobin announced his departure from CNN, he mentioned that he will be releasing another book about the Oklahoma City bombing in 2023. What did Toobin do in 2020 Toobin’s departure comes after he made headlines for exposing himself during a zoom video call with his colleagues at The New Yorker in October 2020. He was then fired from his role at the magazine after a three-week investigation. Although Condé Nast, the magazine’s parent company, cut ties with Toobin, CNN welcomed him back on-air after an eight-month hiatus. The legal analyst acknowledged the incident during an interview with Alisyn Camerota and said that he was a “flawed human being who makes mistakes.” Jeffrey Toobin also dubbed his actions “deeply moronic and indefensible” and apologized to his former colleagues at The New Yorker. He added: “I'm sorry to the people who were on the Zoom call. They were shocked and appalled. I think they realized that this was not intended for them. I think they realized that this was something that I would immediately regret, as I certainly did.” However, Toobin maintained that he thought he turned off his video call and did not realize other people could see him at the time: “I wouldn't say in my defense because nothing is in my defense but I didn't think that I was on the call. I didn't think other people could see me. I thought I had turned off the Zoom call.” The analyst also said that he spent his time off volunteering and in therapy and added: “I am trying to become that person that people can trust again.” Toobin even apologized to his wife, family, and former colleagues at The New Yorker, as well as his colleagues at CNN: “Above all, I am sorry to my wife and to my family but I am also sorry to the people on the Zoom call, I’m sorry to my former colleagues at the New Yorker, I’m sorry to my current, fortunately, still colleagues at CNN and I’m sorry to the people who read my work and who watched me on CNN and thought I was a better person than this.” Jeffrey Toobin had been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1993 before being axed from his role in 2020. He also started contributing to CNN in 2002 and remained a prominent part of the network until his recent departure.
