June 10 (UPI) -- CNN announced it will no longer work with Reza Aslan after the Iranian-American scholar and author sparked controversy for using an expletive to describe U.S. President Donald Trump.
"CNN has decided to not move forward with production on the acquired series Believer with Reza Aslan," a spokeswoman for the network said in a statement to The New York Times Friday. "We wish Reza and his production team all the best."
