Jeffrey Toobin fired by the New Yorker magazine after indecent exposure investigation

In the memo, which was obtained by The Washington Post, Duncan said that “as a result [of the investigation], he is no longer affiliated with our company.”

Toobin said it more directly on Twitter, writing, “I was fired today by @NewYorker after 27 years as a Staff Writer. I will always love the magazine, will miss my colleagues, and will look forward to reading their work.”

In the memo, Duncan told employees, “I want to assure everyone that we take workplace matters seriously. We are committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels respected and upholds our standards of conduct.”

The New Yorker, where Toobin had worked since 1993, benched him last month after colleagues saw him exposed during a video chat among staff members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio. As first reported by Vice last month, Toobin called it “an embarrassingly stupid mistake,” which happened because he thought he was off-camera.

CNN, which also employed him as chief legal analyst, said at the time that Toobin “has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted.” Since his termination from the New Yorker, CNN has not provided an update on Toobin’s status at the cable news network.

As CNN has aggressively covered the myriad legal challenges being made by President Trump’s campaign over the vote counting that has won the White House for Joe Biden, Toobin has been a noticeable absence on CNN’s airwaves.
