Sources are telling the outlet that Chris, who was fired from the network in December, is claiming that Jeff Zucker not only knew about his dealings with his older brother, Andrew Cuomo, but that Jeff had his own inappropriate dealings with him.

There is about $18 million left on Chris‘ contract, but he’s reportedly going to go after more.

One source said: “Chris insists he never did anything for his brother Andrew that Zucker didn’t know about. His camp believes Zucker wasn’t fired for an inappropriate relationship with Allison Gollust. Everybody knew about that and nobody cared. What he believes happened is WarnerMedia found something in their investigation into Chris, perhaps internal memos or documents which revealed more about Zucker’s involvement with Andrew Cuomo. Gollust was just a convenient excuse.”

They added, “Chris intends to fight for every dollar on his contract, and loss of income from the 15 to 20 years left in his career, had Zucker not orchestrated a ‘f***job’ on him. He could ask for as much as $80 million but CNN isn’t going to pay that. But there’s an argument he could ask for as much as $60 million.”

A second source shared that “Chris is telling people in the Hamptons he was wrongly fired, humiliated, his career has been ruined, and he wants Megyn Kelly money.”

If you’re unaware, Megyn won a $69 million settlement from NBC in 2019 following the media storm when she defended blackface on her show.
