Zachary Young took aim at the CNN correspondent behind the report a jury found was defamatory against him following a lengthy legal battle against the network.

CNN will have to fork over at least $5 million to a U.S. Navy veteran after it lost a defamation trial in Florida on Friday. A Panama City, Florida, jury ruled that CNN had defamed security contractor Zachary Young when it aired a 2021 report that said he was part of a “black market” that price-gouged those attempting to flee Afghanistan after the U.

CNN prevailed over a defamation suit brought in Virginia court by Kashyap Patel, an attorney who served in President Trump’s first administration, accusing the network of falsely connecting him to the spread of conspiracy theories about Trump.

U.S. Navy veteran and plaintiff in the CNN defamation trial Zachary Young spoke with Fox News Digital about the journalist who led the defamatory report against him following his legal victory against the network.
