Judge Hands Down Big Win To Gen. Flynn, Allows His Family To Sue CNN

 Conservative Brief

"A U.S. federal judge has ruled that relatives of former national security adviser Michael Flynn can move forward with a lawsuit against CNN.

"The relatives, Flynn’s brother Jack and sister-in-law Leslie, allege that CNN wrongly portrayed them as QAnon conspiracy followers, according to a report.

"Earlier this year, CNN aired a report entitled “CNN Goes Inside A Gathering of QAnon Followers.”

“ 'The report included a brief clip of Lieutenant General Michael Flynn proclaiming, ‘where we go one, we go all.’ Plaintiffs John P. (‘Jack’) and Leslie A. Flynn … are shown in the clip standing next to General Flynn,” wrote U.S. District Judge Gregory Woods, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama.

"Jack and Leslie are seeking $75 million in damages, arguing that CNN defamed them and portrayed them in a negative light.

"Politico described QAnon as a “popular online conspiracy theory that claimed elites were sexually abusing children and that former President Donald Trump was planning to declare a national emergency to strike back at the shadowy figures engaged in the abuse.' ”. . .
