Alan Dershowitz, a renowned legal expert, won a major procedural victory in court this week when a judge allowed his $300 million lawsuit against CNN to move to depositions.
CNN’s lawyers submitted a petition to dismiss the complaint in November, but a judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida denied them this week, allowing Dershowitz to advance. In his lawsuit, Dershowitz claimed that CNN unfairly altered his comments about whether former President Donald Trump could have been impeached if he had performed an illegal act that he considered was in the public’s best interests.

Alan Dershowitz, a renowned legal expert, won a major procedural victory in court this week when a judge allowed his $300 million lawsuit against CNN to move forward to depositions.
CNN’s lawyers made a move to dismiss the complaint in November, but a judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida dismissed it this week, allowing Dershowitz to continue. In his lawsuit, Dershowitz alleged that CNN unfairly censored comments he made on whether former President Donald Trump could have been impeached if he committed an illegal act in the public interest.
Dershowitz claimed in his lawsuit that CNN had a bias against him.
In an interview this week, Dershowitz stated that the fair reporting privilege did not apply to CNN’s activities because the network misrepresented what he said unfairly.
“They deliberately left out the words ‘lawful and illegal’ in order to give the impression that I thought the president could engage in illegal and unlawful conduct and still not be impeached, which is exactly the opposite of what I said,” said Dershowitz, who later added that he was looking forward to “deposing CNN commentators and heads and the truth coming out.”
