An anchor for CNN was told to take “personal leave.”

Jim Sciutto, the anchor for CNN's Newsroom, has been put on "personal leave" by the network because he has to handle a "personal matter."

Sciutto's latest Newsroom appearance was on Monday. According to reports, the anchor's leave of absence is due to a "severe fall" he suffered in Amsterdam early this year.Sciutto and his producer stopped in the Dutch metropolis where the fall took place on their way home after covering the conflict in Ukraine earlier this year, according to Confider of the Daily Beast. Although it was reported that Sciutto had recovered from the event, CNN opened an internal investigation.

Alongside Poppy Harlow, Sciutto frequently served as the co-anchor of CNN's Newsroom. He wrote stories for the internet while serving as the network's top national security reporter. On October 3, Sciutto's most recent piece was released.

Neither Sciutto nor CNN have made any public remarks about the predicament.The lack of the anchor is the most recent change to the CNN schedule. Recently, Don Lemon was demoted from his prime-time position and will go to a morning show. Reliable Sources, which Brian Stelter hosted for CNN, was also recently discontinued.
