FOX: Kash Patel, the chief of staff to Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller, has filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against CNN and several of its top reporters, claiming the liberal network published false statements and promoted “unfounded left-wing political narratives” by painting Patel as a pro-Trump conspiracy theorist seeking to smear President-elect Joe Biden.
The complaint filed on Friday in Virginia Circuit Court named CNN reporters Barbara Starr, Zachary Cohen, Ryan Browne, Alex Marquardt and Nicole Gaouette as defendants, in addition to the network itself. It claims CNN “deliberately or recklessly conveyed a false message” to sensationalize the “news” and humiliate Patel.
Patel, who was previously a top aide to Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and a Trump advisor, claims CNN published a series of articles from Nov. 24 through Dec. 4 penned by the defendants that “contain a series of false and defamatory statements” about him, according to the complaint. read more
This is the guy who alerted Rep. Nunes to FBI CIA russia hoax and the assault on General Flynn.
It’s because of those 2 that we know what happened.

I hope Facebook and YouTube flagged CNN on those phony stories. Oh, they are exempt from fact checks, so those stories got through the net and escaped to the air waves.
I hope this guy can slap CNN with all kinds of discovery and expose their conspiracy with the Democrats.
(One can dream)
That should be a DEFICATION suit since CNN is shit anyway!
You know, 50 mil here a 100 mil there – it could add up to some real money after a while.
Hope he wins and a sympathetic jury quadruples what he’s asking for
