Cuomo appeared to be talking to Michael Cohen, the former friend and attorney to President Donald Trump, on the recording.
"You know, I'm always careful when I talk to media. Do you know how many f***ing phone calls I've gotten from people at ABC who say that reporters are calling and lying about things they've heard about me, to try to get stories about me when I was at ABC?" Cuomo said on the recording.
"Guys calling and saying, 'I heard he was the Charlie Rose of ABC. He used to invite women to a hotel and open his bathrobe.' Do I look like the kind of f***ing guy who's gotta do that?" Cuomo asked.
