The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal by Alan Dershowitz seeking to revive a defamation lawsuit against CNN. The suit claimed CNN mischaracterized remarks Dershowitz made while representing President Donald Trump during his first impeachment trial.
Dershowitz filed the complaint after CNN aired segments that he said inaccurately described his statements on the Senate floor. A federal district court dismissed the case, and an appeals court upheld the dismissal.
The decision leaves the dismissal in place.
