According to sources, Toobin left the call, then rejoined moments later as if nothing had happened. During a break, Toobin switched to a different call, but appeared not to realize his camera was still running. Staff writers at the New Yorker and WNYC radio were running a simulation for their election coverage. A CNN spokesperson said, “Jeff Toobin has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted.”

Toobin is also stepping away from his job at CNN, where he is a senior legal analyst. New Yorker writer Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended after he reportedly exposed himself and masturbated during a Zoom call with his co-workers yesterday.
