Jim Sciutto, a CNN daytime anchor and chief national security correspondent, has taken a personal leave of absence following an internal investigation into an incident that occurred while traveling for the network earlier this year. CNN staffers were told of the leave on Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to discuss it publicly. Sciutto, who co-anchors the midmorning hours for the network, has been off since Monday. Sciutto joined CNN in 2013 after a government stint serving as chief of staff and senior advisor to the U.S. He previously worked at ABC News, where he was a senior foreign correspondent based in London.
