North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson and the law firm he hired provided an update Tuesday about their "investigation" into a CNN report about the lieutenant governor, saying they have filed a defamation complaint in court as a result.
It comes after CNN claimed Robinson had posted several sexually graphic and racist comments to a pornographic website.
Attorney Jesse Binnall, with the Binnall Law Group, said his team includes a number of attorneys and the investigation was led by a former FBI special agent. He said they knocked on doors, focused on "following the facts." Robinson and Binnall called the report a "high-tech lynching" intended to interfere in the gubernatorial election.
