Alan Dershowitz files $300 million defamation suit against CNN
2020-09-17
[FOXNEWS] 'Some good charities are going to benefit from CNN's willful deliberate malicious effort to destroy my credibility,' he said

Famed attorney and Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Fox News that CNN selectively edited a clip of his remarks from the Senate floor during President Trump's impeachment trial where he broke down the illegalities surrounding a "quid pro quo" as a member of the president's defense team.

The constitutional scholar alleges in the lawsuit that the news outlet propagated a “sea of lies” by re-airing only part of his quote, which he believes was part of a deliberate effort "from the very top" to frame him for claiming “that the President of the United States could commit illegal acts as long as he thought it would help his reelection and that his reelection was in the public interest," The Wrap reported.

"What CNN did here, and it pains me to say this because, you know, I have friends over there, what they did is they just totally doctored the tape," Dershowitz told Sean Hannity on Tuesday.

#2  CNN did not respond to Fox News' request for comment.

They're working up to, "We do not comment on pending legal issues," issued maybe Friday afternoon.
