On Monday, Sciutto's most recent article was released.

The Daily Beast's Confider claimed earlier this year that Sciutto was the target of an internal CNN probe following a "severe fall" in Amsterdam.

According to the September report, Sciutto was heading home from a reporting trip to Ukraine to cover the Russian incursion when the incident occurred.

"Despite colleagues taking direct flights home from Poland, Sciutto and his producer chose a layover in the Dutch city, where the catastrophe took place. "According to reports, Sciutto has now recovered from the event, but CNN has asked him to address a 'personal matter,'" Confider claimed.

During the months of February, March, and April of this year, Sciutto visited Ukraine.

On May 1st, Sciutto uploaded a picture of Poland, the location from which CNN correspondents were being flown out after reporting the fighting.

CNN has experienced a turbulent year. Chris Cuomo was sacked from the network for reportedly assisting his disgraced brother, Governor Andrew Cuomo, in his scandals. A few weeks later, CNN president Jeff Zucker resigned after having an affair with an executive.

Former president Donald Trump filed a $475 million lawsuit against the media firm on Monday, alleging that the network conducted a "libel and slander campaign" against him.
