Supreme Court won't revive Alan Dershowitz's $300 million suit against CNN

The Supreme Court refused to revive Alan Dershowitz's $300 million defamation lawsuit against CNN over coverage of his remarks during President Donald Trump's 2020 impeachment. Lower courts dismissed the case, finding Dershowitz failed to prove CNN acted with 'actual malice' under the New York Times Co. v. Sullivan standard. Justices Gorsuch and Thomas dissented, urging a reevaluation of defamation standards for public figures.
