CNN's Jim Sciutto Off Air For 'Personal Situation'


CNN mainstay Jim Sciutto has been off air after network bosses ordered him to address a 'personal situation' stemming from a 'serious fall' he suffered while in Amsterdam earlier this year. 

The Daily Mail reports the 52-year-old Sciutto presented the Newsroom on the struggling network alongside Poppy Harlow on Monday. Since then, Sciutto has gone silent. 

The Daily Beast's Confider reports that Sciutto underwent an internal investigation at CNN earlier in 2022. The website says that the investigation was prompted when Sciutto suffered a 'serious fall' while in Amsterdam. 

President Barack Obama's former chief of staff was in the Dutch capital with a so far unidentified producer. 

Sciutto was returning from a spell reporting in Ukraine when the incident occurred. Sciutto has made three trips to Ukraine in 20220 in his role as CNN's chief national security reporter. 

The Emmy Award winning Sciutto has been married to his wife, former ABC News correspondent Gloria Riviera since 2006. The couple has three children together.
