A
Florida jury on Friday found CNN liable for
defaming a U.S. Navy veteran who helped evacuate people from Afghanistan
after
the U.S. military withdrew from the
country in 2021.
Zachary
Young, a Navy veteran who later worked as a security consultant, filed the suit
in 2022. His legal action claimed that his reputation was destroyed by a
network report on "The Lead with Jake Tapper" that claimed he
exploited desperate Afghans by charging exorbitant fees.
The
report included the use of his name and photo with a label stated that Afghan
evacuees were caught in a perilous “black market.”
CNN
said in March 2022 that it regretted using the term "black
market," but denied defaming Young.
The
jury said CNN had to pay damages totaling $5 million. There will be a second
phase of the trial to determine any punitive damages.
A CNN representative
said the network would not comment until the jury decided punitive damages.
