No one, not CNN, ever contested that CNN paid the videographer for footage, knowing that he captured himself egging on people in that footage. He was there on the 5th and the 6th, with the woman who had just returned to the states from a visit to Vietnam. He made the vids and was presented as a journalist even though in his videos he was participating.

In fact, some of the video we’ve seen of the shooting was shot by him. Sullivan claims he was just there “documenting” which liberal media has simply accepted, although according to Fox he admits he climbed through a window to get inside. CNN even had him on air to talk about it

Many participants, including Sullivan, posted their actions on social media. read more According to the court filings, Sullivan portrayed himself as an independent journalist who was reporting on the chaos, but actually encouraged other participants to “burn” the building and engage in violence.

Anti-Trump Capitol rioter sold footage for $35K to NBC and CNN: court papers
New York Post ^ | February 17, 2021 | Ben Feuerherd
Posted on 2/17/2021, 11:14:50 PM by nickcarraway

Accused Capitol rioter John Sullivan sold video footage he recorded at the Jan. 6 siege to NBC and CNN for $35,000 each, according to new court papers.

The news came as prosecutors on Tuesday tried to ban the Utah provocateur — a self-styled anti-Trump activist who they allege infiltrates protests to cause chaos and record video footage — from accessing social media, according to Politico.

Sullivan maintains that he is a journalist for his website Insurgence USA — and his defense attorney filed invoices for the $35,000 that NBC News and CNN each apparently paid for rights to use the videos.
