CNN President Zucker resigns, citing undisclosed relationship with senior executive, reports

CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker has resigned from the company due to an undisclosed relationship with his "closest colleague."

In a memo to employees, Zucker wrote, "As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo's tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years. I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn't. I was wrong. As a result, I am resigning today."
