8:13Now PlayingThe FBI Director just sued The Atlantic for $250 million. The story he's trying to kill claims his security detail requested breaching equipment because they couldn't wake him, that meetings were rescheduled due to drinking, and that he thought he'd been fired when his computer locked him out. Former prosecutor and Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson breaks down the legal reality of a defamation case brought by a public figure, why this lawsuit may backfire spectacularly, and what the national security implications actually are.
