RALEIGH, N.C.
— Mark Robinson, who is running for governor in North Carolina as a Republican, has taken legal action against CNN. This lawsuit comes in response to an article released by the network, which reported on various posts attributed to Robinson on a pornography website.

The news outlet’s report has drawn significant attention, prompting Robinson to deny the allegations made in the story. He argues that the coverage has caused harm to his reputation and has misled the public regarding his character and campaign.

In the complaint, Robinson claims that the report is not only false but also defamatory, asserting that it was intended to damage his political ambitions. The Republican candidate emphasizes that he is committed to clearing his name and intends to seek damages from the media outlet for any potential fallout from the allegations.

Robinson’s campaign has reiterated its stance that these claims are unfounded, asserting that they are part of a larger narrative aimed at derailing his candidacy for governor. As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how this legal battle will affect both Robinson’s campaign and public perception leading up to the election.
