“In the last two weeks, accounts of inappropriate behavior by Steve Chaggaris were brought to our attention and were immediately investigated,” CBS said in a statement provided to Variety Wednesday. “As a result, CBS News has severed ties with Mr. Chaggaris for violating company policy, effective immediately.”

Variety says that Chaggaris worked at CBS News for several years, having joined the broadcaster in 1999. He left CBS in 2010, but rejoined the oulet in 2012 to become its senior political editor. He became CBS News’ political director in March of last year, a capacity in which he supervised coverage of the Trump administration.
