RALEIGH, N.C. — Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson has hired a law firm to investigate CNN report of accusations against him, according to his campaign.
Mark Robinson for Governor campaign announced that it hired the Binnall Law Group to look into the scathing CNN report that was released on Sept. 19.
“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. 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. In the meantime, my campaign remains laser-focused on the issues at stake in this election.” — Lieutenant Governor and Republican nominee for Governor Mark Robinson
The Binnall Law Group also released a statement:
My team and I are looking forward to getting to the bottom of CNN’s claims and we will bring all our resources to bear in getting to the facts. Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, his family and the voters of North Carolina deserve nothing less.” — Jesse R. Binnall, Partner, Binnall Law Group
Attorney Jesse Binnall has worked for former President Donald Trump in recent years. He was involved in lawsuits the Trump campaign made in several states after the 2020 presidential election, claiming that widespread fraud caused him to lose several states he believed he should have won.
State officials in Nevada, where one of the lawsuits was filed, found no evidence of any large-scale election fraud in 2020.
