The 44-year-old Stamford man posted on his LinkedIn page that he worked "shoulder-to-shoulder" with Cuomo for the show New Day, "seeing him through each show and producing live breaking news across the country and around the world."

CNN said it has suspended Griffin pending investigation.

Cuomo was fired by the network on Saturday, Dec. 4, after the New York Attorney General's Office released new information about the extent of his role advising and assisting his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who was being investigated for sexual harassment allegations.
