A Trump supporter fired from CNN after allegations of sexual misconduct were leveled against him wants nearly $10 million from his former employer for leaking the report that so damaged his reputation.

The Arizona Republic reported Tuesday that conservative pundit Paris Dennard has filed the precursor to a lawsuit against Arizona State University after findings from a 2014 internal investigation into sexual harassment claims were released by an insider to the Washington Post in August 2018.

Dennard argued in his notice of a claim filing that ASU did not find that he violated harassment policies when he worked at the McCain Institute for International Leadership but did show a “lack of professionalism” and violated employee conduct rules, the report noted. He was then “involuntarily separated” from the university.

The Post reported in August that the pro-Trump pundit once “pretended to unzip his pants in [a female employee’s] presence, tried to get her to sit on his lap, and made masturbatory gestures,” licked an employee’s neck and whispered in an employee’s ear that he wanted to “f**k her.”
