Supreme Court Spurns Dershowitz Defamation Case | San Antonio News

The Supreme Court declined to hear Alan Dershowitz’s $300 million defamation case against CNN, upholding a lower court ruling that dismissed his claim. The dispute erupted after Dershowitz, part of Trump’s legal team during his first impeachment, made statements on the Senate floor that CNN later critiqued. Dershowitz argued CNN selectively edited his remarks to mislead viewers, but the Court’s refusal — despite dissenting opinions from Justices Gorsuch and Thomas — reaffirms the high “actual malice” bar for public figures suing media, preserving free speech while limiting defamation claims.
