Michael Flynn's sister-in-law sued CNN for $100 million, accusing it of falsely linking her to QAnon

The sister-in-law of former Trump national security advisor Michael Flynn sued CNN for $100 million, accusing the network of falsely linking her to the QAnon conspiracy theory, court documents show.

In the lawsuit, filed Wednesday at the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Valerie Flynn focused on a segment that aired last February and featured the CNN correspondent Donie O'Sullivan attending a QAnon meeting in Arizona.

During the segment, CNN cut to a separate video of the Flynn family — including Valerie — at a Fourth of July barbecue in Newport County, Rhode Island, the lawsuit said.




The CNN segment showed the family with their hands raised as Michael Flynn is heard saying the popular QAnon chant, "Where we go one, we go all," the lawsuit said.

Can liberals please start suing FOX news? If this is the new normal. Let's put Fox out of business.

she is going to need it. Remember there will be Discovery, Valaire, her husband, Mike Flynn and the rest of the family will be deposed, records handed over, included texts, computers, phones, emails, tax returns it will go on and on.

she is a follower of QAnon. Wouldn't that enhance her standing in most FL communities.

Not to mention if you agree to pose for a Twitter video taking an oath, you make yourself a celebrity.
