- CNN is being sued in Florida by Zach Young, a U.S. Navy veteran, for defamation related to a segment aired in 2011.
- Young claims that CNN falsely accused him of "exploiting desperate Afghans" during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
- He asserts that the allegations have ruined his reputation and made him "permanently unemployable," resulting in millions in lost income.
- CNN has denied the allegations and argues that Young "fails to set forth any viable claim" against the network.
- The trial is expected to last two weeks and will feature testimonies from CNN journalists and executives.
