Judge tosses out Joe Arpaio's $300M defamation lawsuit against CNN, other media outletsJudge tosses out Joe Arpaio's $300M defamation lawsuit against CNN, other media outlets
"Judge Lamberth is one of the few courageous and intellectually honest judges on the federal bench today," he stated. "I am reasonably certain, based on the law, that he will allow Sheriff Arpaio to amend the complaint, in order that this case can move forward to discovery and a jury trial."
Arpaio, who unsuccessfully ran for the Senate in 2018 and who plans to run for his old job in 2020, was convicted of criminal contempt by a federal court in 2017 for disobeying a federal judge’s order on detaining people suspected of being in the U.S. illegally.
President Trump pardoned Arpaio later that year before he could be sentenced, prompting backlash from Democrats and civil rights groups.
Arpaio, who calls himself “America’s toughest sheriff,” also filed a $147.5 million
libel suit against The New York Times
and a member of its editorial board in October.
Great American Honest Judge.
