58:47Now PlayingCNN’s attorney, David Axelrod, delivered a striking opening statement, asserting that CNN did nothing wrong in reporting a story about U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young. Young claims that CNN defamed his reputation and business with a report alleging he was an “illegal profiteer” exploiting “desperate Afghans” with “exorbitant” extraction fees.

Zachary Young, a U.S. Navy veteran, is suing CNN over a 2021 segment that aired on “The Lead with Jake Tapper.” Young claims the network falsely painted him as an “illegal profiteer” exploiting “desperate Afghans” with “exorbitant” extraction fees amid the fallout of President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Young is the president of Florida-based corporation Nemex Enterprises. His claims sue CNN for defamation per se, defamation by implication, group libel and trade libel, claiming that his efforts to save lives in Afghanistan as a security consultant were distorted by “lies published for sensationalism.”
