A U.S. Navy veteran is taking legal action against Puck News, alleging the news outlet republished defamatory statements that originated from CNN. This follows the veteran's successful defamation lawsuit against CNN earlier this year. The new lawsuit, filed Friday, accuses Puck News of spreading false information that harmed the veteran's reputation.
The veteran's legal team argues that Puck News acted irresponsibly by republishing the allegedly defamatory claims without proper verification. They contend that the statements were presented as facts, damaging the veteran's standing in the community and causing emotional distress. The lawsuit seeks financial compensation for the harm caused by the alleged defamation, as well as a public retraction from Puck News. Puck News has yet to issue a public statement regarding the lawsuit.
