Just a few days after NBC News suspended Game Change author Mark Halperin from his MSNBC position, the organization has formally terminated his contract and cut ties with the veteran journalist. The original suspension came in response to sexual harassment allegations from multiple women who said that Halperin had groped them or propositioned them for sex while he was the political director at ABC news. He eventually apologized, admitting to “aggressive and crude” behavior while at ABC, but he defended himself by saying that he has worked to act more appropriately since then.
