30:48Now PlayingFormer U.S. General James Vincent Young Jr. took the stand on Friday morning, describing the rigorous efforts undertaken to rescue people from Afghanistan. He explained that this initiative allegedly resembled plaintiff Zachary Young’s plan, which CNN implied was involved in black market activities through accusations of group libel and trade libel. Young claims that CNN distorted his efforts to save lives in Afghanistan as a security consultant, publishing "lies for sensationalism."

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.”
