CNN abruptly dropped contributor Mark Geragos Monday afternoon after the analyst was named as a co-conspirator in fraud allegations against celebrity lawyer Michael Cohen.
“The co-conspirator charged along with Michael Avenatti in a $20 million extortion plot against Nike has been revealed to be longtime CNN legal analyst Mark Geragos.
