The host of Reliable Sources, Brian Stelter, reported a significant shake of CNN network would have legal blowbacks coming soon.
CNN Controversy
The president of CNN, Jeff Zucker, had to resign due to an improper relationship with a former marketing chief, Allison Gollust. Fox News reported this incident about what happened in CNN, its rival network.

Suppose the mess with Zucker could turn out really bad, Reliable Sources host. He added that everyone in the network is ready with their lawyers; even the lawyer of Cuomo wants to make a lot of money from CNN.
Earlier this February, Jeff Zucker surprised everyone at CNN about his resignation from his current position. He is the president of the network and WarnerMedia's chairman for the news and sports division.
A memo was circulated by the CNN executive stating the reason for choosing to leave the network was an improper relationship with Allison Gollust. Both have resigned after the CNN executive gave the memo.
Recently, the network has allegedly been wracked by another controversy that involved the younger brother of shamed ex-NY Governor Andrew Cuomo. Brian Stelter remarked that the CNN network is affected by it.
The news outlet investigated the fired former-CNN anchor, Chris Cuomo, and dug up a myriad of activities from acting unethically using the network's resources. Another is he's been harassing co-workers due to his influence.
All these activities brought the Zucker and Gollust controversy to the fore, and all these have been happening as CNN bleeds its viewership.
Top Level Resignations at CNN

Legal Problems at CNN
The parent company of CNN 'WarnerMedia' forwarded a statement that mentioned the interviews of more than 40 persons, and an examination of 100,000 emails and texts exposed many company policies broken.
The company probe revealed the most glaring news standards that weren't adhered to by Chris Cuomo, Jeff Zucker, and Allison Gollust.
According to the report on the investigations involving Cuomo, he used the outlet's resources to investigate the woman accusing his brother of sexual harassment. Things piled up on the CNN anchor when he harassed co-workers, which led to him getting booted last December.
Brian Stelter said the CNN network is significantly affected by the top-level resignations, and WarnerMedia will need to clean house and correct all that had happened under Zucker's watch.
