NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson Sues CNN Over Defamation Claims

Robinson alleges false attribution of explicit posts amid gubernatorial campaign.

Mark Robinson filed a lawsuit against CNN, claiming defamation over reports linking him to explicit posts on a porn forum.
Robinson, a Republican gubernatorial candidate, argues the posts were made by someone impersonating him using data breach information.
The lawsuit also targets a punk singer who accused Robinson of frequenting a porn store in the 1990s.
CNN's report has led to political distancing, with some GOP figures withdrawing support from Robinson's campaign.
Robinson seeks $50 million in damages, alleging a coordinated effort to undermine his political ambitions.
