CNN political commentator Scott Jennings is facing a $72.5 million (around 54.2 million) defamation lawsuit filed by streamer Hasan Piker, who alleges that Jennings used edited footage and attributed a false quotation to him to make it appear that he supported the lynching of Black Americans.

The complaint, filed in federal court in Washington, DC, on 27 October, alleges that Jennings manipulated Piker's remarks during an August broadcast of The Scott Jennings Show.
