Your tweet is Exhibit A
A former FBI special agent says White House press secretary Sarah Sanders libeled CNN reporter Jim Acosta by sharing an altered video of his interaction with an intern during a presidential news conference.
Asha Rangappa, a CNN contributor and former counterintelligence agent, said Sanders had met the standard of proof for libel publishing a false statement to damage a persons reputation.
.@PressSec you are seriously tweeting out an obviously doctored video from InfoWars no less to substantiate a false accusation of assault against a journalist??? Rangappa tweeted.
The standard for libel against a public figure is acting with actual malice, and your tweet is Exhibit A, she added.
