The brother and sister-in-law of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn are suing CNN for $75 million over a report that the couple were believers of the QAnon conspiracy theory.
John “Jack” Flynn, brother of retired Gen. Michael Flynn, and his wife Leslie filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN on Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Flynns allege that the cable network falsely accused them of being supporters of the QAnon movement.
John and Leslie Flynn claim that a CNN segment dedicated to exposing the QAnon movement featured footage of the couple at a Fourth of July barbecue in Rhode Island. Video shows the couple joining Michael Flynn and the group saying, “Where we go one, we go all.” The phrase has been a rallying cry of QAnon, but the Flynns contend that it has nothing to do with the conspiracy theory group.
Tax free settlement in the works. No way this goes to court.
