He was jerking it, according to Vice: Both people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to speak freely, noted that it was unclear how much each individual person on the call saw, but both of the people we spoke to said that they saw Toobin jerking off. Moments later, he called back in, seemingly unaware of what his colleagues had been able to see, and the simulation continued.Update: Yup. “The people on the call said they could see Toobin touching his penis. “The sources said that when the groups returned from their break out rooms, Toobin lowered the camera,” Motherboard reported. During a strategy session break, the sources said Toobin appeared to be on another call. Per two sources to Motherboard, the call was part of an election simulation in which a number of prominent New Yorker staffers played various roles and Toobin acted as the courts.
Motherboard also reported that Toobin’s official Condé Nast email has been disabled and the famed attorney and author hasn’t tweeted since Oct. A CNN spokesperson provided the following statement to The Daily Beast: “Jeff Toobin has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted.” I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers.”Ī New Yorker spokesperson, meanwhile, said that Toobin “has been suspended while we investigate the matter.” He is also the chief legal analyst at CNN, where he last appeared this past Saturday.
In a statement to Motherboard, Toobin acknowledged the incident: “I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. The New Yorker has suspended staff writer Jeffrey Toobin after he exposed himself during a Zoom call last week between staffers of the magazine and WNYC radio, Vice Motherboard reported on Monday.
