A federal judge quashed Donald Trump’s counter-defamation case against E. Jean Carroll for statements she made on CNN, yet another legal failure for the former president, who is currently drowning in lawsuits and mounting legal fees. In her lawsuit against Trump, Carroll had alleged sexual abuse and was awarded $5 million by a jury under the Adult Survivors Act that found the former president guilty. Later, on CNN, she was asked to comment on the verdict that found Trump guilty of sexual abuse and not rape as defined under New York state law. However, Carroll responded, “Oh, yes he did.” Trump...

On Friday, U.S. District Judge Raag Singhal dismissed Donald Trump’s $475 million defamation lawsuit against CNN. Trump accused the network of likening him to Adolf Hitler during coverage of his false 2020 election fraud claims. Trump’s legal team argued that CNN writers’ and anchors’ continued use of the phrase “Big Lie” incited “readers and viewers to hate, contempt, distrust, ridicule and even fear” the former president. The term has historically been used to refer to a propaganda technique that originated in Hitler’s Germany. However, the Trump-appointed judge declared that CNN’s statement...

Then he wat...

Toobin, who formerly worked as a staff writer for The New Yorker, was fired last October for inappropriately exposing and masturbating during a Zoom work call. CNN boss Jeff Zucker was reportedly “concerned” about how viewers would react to seeing the infamous lawyer on-camera again, but he was willing to give it a try. During his appearance on CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota’s afternoon show on Thursday, Toobin addressed the elephant in the room: “Well, obviously, I wasn...
