North Carolina Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson announced it hired a law firm to investigate the “false smears” in the CNN report that outlined the candidate calling himself a “black NAZI.”
Robinson’s campaign said on Tuesday it hired Binnall Law Group, a law firm based in northern Virginia whose partner, Jesse Binnall, had worked for former President Trump and his campaign.
“As I’ve said from the beginning, the claims from CNN are salacious lies. I will not let these attacks distract us from sharing a better future for our state, and I’m glad to be able to bring Jesse Binnall and his team on board to investigate where and how these false smears originated,” Robinson, who has shot down claims detailed in the CNN bombshell report, said in a statement.
“I am confident that Binnall Law Group will leave no stone unturned and enable us to use every legal means to hold CNN accountable for their lies,” he continued. “In the meantime, my campaign remains laser-focused on the issues at stake in this election.”
