CNN President Jeff Zucker blasted Donna Brazile’s behavior as “unethical” and “disgusting” in a meeting with CNN staffers following reports that she leaked debate and town hall meeting questions to Hillary Clinton’s campaign while working for CNN.

Zucker also said in a Tuesday editorial meeting that Brazile’s behavior “hurts all of us,” adding, “I have no tolerance for her behavior or that kind of behavior.” He stressed that CNN employees working on the events did not provide Brazile with the questions.
