Navy veteran who beat CNN in court resumes fight to clear name, files lawsuit against U.S. News & World Report

A U.S. Navy veteran who successfully sued CNN for defamation earlier this year, filed a lawsuit against U.S. News & World Report on Wednesday.
Young, who has since sued the Associated Press and Puck over coverage of the CNN trial, filed his latest lawsuit against U.S. News & World Report. The dust-up started in January when AP media reporter David Bauder wrote that "Young’s business helped smuggle people out of Afghanistan" when covering the CNN trial. Bauder’s report is at the center of Young’s separate lawsuit against the AP, and U.S. News & World Report republished the story, which is common practice for news outlets, before eventually retracting it.

In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Bay County, Florida which has been obtained by Fox News Digital, Young’s lawyer, Daniel Lustig, wrote that U.S. News & World Report’s retraction didn’t go "far enough," and his client gave the outlet a chance to correct the mistake before a lawsuit was filed.
