This One Lie About Trump Could Cost CNN Millionshttps://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/01/20/cnn-could-face-massive-lawsuit-for-this-bogus-trump-smear-n4948515CNN may have to lawyer up now, after one of its commentators lobbed a defamatory claim at President Donald Trump Monday night, and host John Berman barely lifted a finger to correct it.
Cameron Kasky, a 25-year-old Parkland shooting survivor turned activist, was on NewsNight for some reason. There, he falsely claimed Trump was part of a "human sex-trafficking network," in what appeared to be a reference to Jeffrey Epstein's criminal enterprise. The allegation wasn't some throwaway line, either. Kasky doubled down, despite multiple opportunities to walk it back, creating significant legal exposure for the network.

“I am appreciative that the president is being transparent about this. I would love it if he was more transparent about the human sex-trafficking network that he was a part of, but you can’t win them all,” he said.
“Cameron’s grateful that the president is being transparent about the Nobel Peace Prize and his desires for Greenland,” host John Berman repeated. “Scott, what do you think about that?”
Jennings immediately objected. “Are you going to let that sit?” he asked. “Are we going to claim here on CNN that the president is part of a global sex trafficking ring, or —”

Kasky did not retreat. “That Donald Trump was provably very involved with it,” he said.
I had to quote bits and pieces, because Fair Use, but it sounds like Berman overrode Jennings's attempt to smack down Kasky's claim and incidentally give CNN lawsuit CYA.
