Chinese billionaire files $50M defamation suit against WarnerMedia over CNN story
A Chinese billionaire and Mar-a-Lago member is suing WarnerMedia over a CNN segment that he claims falsely implies he committed espionage and was on the verge of being deported.
Since he fled in 2014, Guo claims the Chinese government has gone to "extensive lengths" to have him extradited, including asking CEOs of large companies and lobbyist Elliot Broidy to put pressure on President Donald Trump. He maintains the Chinese government is actively working to discredit him and he's sued multiple people for defamation alleging they falsely labeled him a spy, a fraud, a swindler and a rapist.
"Clearly, the intent was to garner views for the sensational 'story' with no regard for the truth and less investigation into the underlying facts," writes attorney Aaron Mitchell in the complaint. "The CNN broadcast went on to make a number of false statements, along with various other statements intended to mislead its viewers and cast Plaintiff in a negative light."
Guo says that company is Strategic Vision and its claims were dismissed because he never partnered with them, and Blaskey's follow up statement implies he had "done something illegal that 'federal authorities' should 'act on.'"
