NEW YORK — Jim Sciutto, a CNN daytime anchor and chief national security correspondent, has taken a personal leave of absence following an internal investigation into an incident while traveling for the network earlier this year.
CNN staffers were told of the leave on Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to discuss it publicly. A CNN representative declined comment, noting that the company does not discuss personnel matters.
Sciutto, who co-anchors the mid-morning hours for the network, has been off since Monday. Another person briefed on the situation said Sciutto is expected to return in several weeks.
