January 1, Yet Another Scandal at CNN

Embattled network CNN has become the center of another alleged scandal, one year after former president Jeff Zucker resigned over his relationship with another executive.

Federico Quadrani, the executive producer of The Lead with Jake Tapper, looks to be following Zucker’s lead.

The CNN “golden boy,” known as “Fede” by his coworkers, was reportedly ousted from the network last week after it was revealed that he also had a relationship with a subordinate.

According to Page Six, Quadrani had nearly been cleared by an internal “investigation of sorts,” when Tapper was “presented with something he couldn’t ignore” by a staffer who found it “accidentally.”

Quadrani had actually worked under Zucker at MSNBC before moving to CNN in 2013.

CNN staffers were “shocked” by the news, per the outlet’s reporting.

Both Quadrani and the subordinate were “missing” from the network’s Washington office on Friday.
