NN and Zachary Young, the Navy veteran a Florida jury found that the network had defamed, reached a settlement late on Friday afternoon. The post JUST IN: CNN Reaches Final Settlement With Navy Vet Jury Found Network Defamed first appeared on Mediaite.

A Florida jury concluded the network smeared the man’s reputation, awarding $5 million for losses and suffering and weighing additional punitive damages.

Zachary Young sued the network in 2021 after it ran a segment on contractors profiting off refugees trying to flee Afghanistan in the 2021 withdrawal, including his business.
