Mark Halperin, the NBC and MSNBC analyst who co-authored the bestselling 2008 election postmortem “Game Change,” is leaving both networks after five women accused him of sexual harassment in a CNN report published Wednesday.
“We find the story and the allegations very troubling. Mark Halperin is leaving his role as a contributor until the questions around his past conduct are fully understood,” MSNBC told Fox News in a statement.
HBO also cut ties with Halperin who was set to work with the network on a project tied to his untitled book about the 2016 presidential election.
The powerful journalist’s alleged behavior occured while he was at ABC News, according to CNN, which said the five women’s complaints were corroborated by others who did not personally experience the harassment.
