Robinson acknowledges lying about CNN report in 2024 campaign

Former North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson admitted on a podcast that he lied about CNN’s 2024 KFile report linking him to inflammatory posts on a pornography site; he had previously denied the story and sued CNN. He said his deception was to protect others, including President Trump, and noted there may be some truth to parts of the report. He also reflected that changing his campaign team might have altered the outcome of the 2024 gubernatorial race and spoke about his past pornography obsession and its impact on his life.
