Two participants in The New Yorker’s video call told Vice news site that they saw and heard Toobin masturbate. Toobin speaks of “an embarrassing and foolish mistake” in a statement. He said he was under the assumption that the camera and microphone were off. “My apologies to my wife, family and colleagues,” he writes. According to CNN, Toobin has freely asked to “handle a personal matter.” The TV channel granted his request.

According to the two ‘informers’, the video conference took place in preparation for the coverage of the US presidential elections. In a simulation, several magazine employees would have played the role of Donald Trump, Joe Biden and other political actors. Toobin’s role was that of the courts. The embarrassing incident occurred while Democrats and Republicans had withdrawn from the simulation for deliberations.
