A civil rights activist is suing Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, claiming she defamed him while discussing a lawsuit against the Black Lives Matter movement that was later dismissed.
The lawsuit states that DeRay McKesson was falsely arrested in 2016 while attending a protest in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in which a police officer was struck in the face with a rock and seriously injured.
The officer sued the Black Lives Matter movement and McKesson for his injuries.
After the officer's lawsuit was dismissed, Pirro "made a series of outrageously false and defamatory statements about Mr. McKesson, including that he directed someone to hit the police officer in the face with a rock," McKesson's lawsuit said.

Bring it on DeeeeeRay!
Discovery phase should be a hoot. Ready to open your finances?
I am willing to bet that DeRay does not get Dewin.
I would imagine Jeanine Pirro is the last person one would want to sue.
The "National Enquirer" and "World News Weekly" of the journalism world.
This is the swamp. Closing in on the vociferous and most articulate on Fox.
I am starting to think the National Enquirer is no longer the king of fake news. ABC, CNN, CBS, NYT, AP, WP, seem to all be actively competing for that title.
Publicity suit....hasn’t got a chance!!
More likely -
This is a poor benighted fool who has been ill-advised on
the mechanics of a civil lawsuit - specifically "Discovery."
He is also going to get a lesson in Professional Magic.
Watch as his financial backers (Soros Inc.) just melt into
the background and disappear when the depositions begin.
She’s so not guilty.
This is all staright from Soros.
He and his endless network of organizations—ACLU, “human rights” groups, blackolivesmatter etc etc etc—
sue to hogtie any opposition.
This tells me Soros must consider her dangerous to his agenda.
So...what’s your point?
LOL!!!
;)
Just an observation. Kind of makes her hotter.
Did she know at the time what she was was “false, inaccurate or misleading” or “with reckless disregard as to the truth or falsity of that disclosure.? If not, case dismissed. That’s the Actual Malice standard and is why the NYT, WaPo and the rest are able to skate 99.9% of the time.
What did she say? (Not clicking on yahoo)
Tell that jackass to get in line. They defame Trump all the time - he should sue too or shut them down.
