CNN's Don Lemon Refuses To Betray Colleague Chris Cuomo Following His Embattled Brother Andrew's Resignation As New York Governor

Don Lemon has made it perfectly clear that he will not betray his colleague and best friend, Chris Cuomo, by taking over the latter's primetime hour on CNN.
"There has been talk of giving Don Chris' primetime slot on CNN, but Don refuses to do it out of loyalty to his friend," sources tell Breaking Celebrity News. "The quick fix would be to expand Don's show an hour and give Chris an 'extended' vacation while the drama with his brother cools off. However, Don is having none of it and sees the move as a betrayal of his best friend."
As we reported, Chris' brother, Andrew Cuomo, resigned from his post as New York governor just yesterday after Attorney General Letitia James' recently concluded investigation determined that the 63-year-old politician had, indeed, sexually harassed multiple former and current female state employees.
The other option, we're being told, is that CNN is considering extending Anderson Cooper's show by an hour, which is something Cooper would seemingly be up for.
"Anderson is not close with Chris. They are work colleagues, but Anderson keeps himself to himself," network sources tell us. "Chris' aggressive, alpha man vibes are just not Anderson's thing, unlike Don and Chris, who are literally brothers from another mother."
