Supreme Court Declines to Hear Alan Dershowitz's Defamation Appeal Against CNN
By
Ted Johnson
Summary
The Supreme Court declined to hear Alan Dershowitz's appeal of his $300 million defamation lawsuit against CNN. The lawsuit stemmed from CNN's coverage of Dershowitz's remarks during President Trump's 2020 impeachment trial, where Dershowitz claimed the network falsely portrayed him as arguing that a president could be "immune from impeachment" and as someone who had "lost his mind." A lower court had previously dismissed the case, and the Supreme Court's refusal to take it up effectively ends the legal challenge.
