Legal analyst and Zoom masturbator Jeffrey Toobin has given tour de force commentary on CNN of former president Donald Trump’s hush money trial on the network — but has his own checkered past with money and sex.
Much as Trump allegedly tried to buy Stormy Daniels’ silence about an affair she claims they had, Toobin, 63, infamously once offered to pay for a lover’s abortion in the hopes of keeping the relationship under wraps, according to reports.
The married Toobin had a torrid on-again, off-again relationship for years with Casey Greenfield, the daughter of his CNN colleague Jeff Greenfield, the Daily News reported in 2010, citing sources who said the legal scholar offered her “money if she had an abortion” when she became pregnant in 2008.
“When Casey wouldn’t have an abortion, Jeff told her she was going to regret it, that she shouldn’t expect any help from him,” another source told the tabloid.
Toobin, who remains an abortion advocate, is 13 years Greenfield’s senior.
The birth of their son did nothing to soften Toobin’s response, as the TV talking head insisted he was not the father and only agreed to pay child support after being ordered to do so by a Manhattan Family Court judge.
Toobin is married to Amy McIntosh, a one-time executive at Verizon and the Zagat Survey, with whom he had two children.
A second woman reportedly claimed Toobin came onto her with ribald sexual advances at a party.
Greenfield, now a matrimonial and family lawyer, declined to comment to The Post.
Toobin retained his perch at CNN despite the difficulties.
In 2020 he was fired from the New Yorker after 27 years for masturbating during a Zoom call with the organization’s senior staff.
Fallout from the Toobin Missile Crisis kept him off CNN for a year before he was ultimately welcomed back.
“It was a disaster in my life — self-inflicted, self-destructive, and something that I will regret for the rest of my life,” Toobin said last year.
Rick Sanchez, a former CNN anchor in 2008 — who himself left CNN under a cloud in 2010 — said Toobin being allowed on the network was “typical hypocrisy that’s a constant at CNN.”
“They protect Toobin and others like him no matter what they have done or do, while those who don’t fit their ideological position or their presumed social or pseudo intellectual status are assailed, attacked and/or eliminated. So smug, so self-satisfied! Funny, it’s so easy to see, too bad they don’t,” Sanchez told The Post.
Toobin did not respond to request for comment from The Post.
