Many at CNN were not happy the network decided to allow legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin back on the air after a nearly eight-month absence following news he had exposed himself while on a Zoom meeting with New Yorker coworkers.

CNN insiders told The Daily Beast that while anchor Alisyn Camerota and those in the studio welcomed Toobin back on Thursday, many others in the newsroom didn’t think he should be allowed to return to the network so easily. Toobin was provided an entire segment to apologize for his previous behavior, before being asked to weigh in on current news as if he had never left.
