Brandon Straka, head of the #WalkAway Campaign, filed a defamation lawsuit on Friday against MSNBC, Chris Hayes, and Ari Melber over their “untruthful reporting” on the details of his involvement during the events of January 6 on Capitol Hill.

According to the press release, “The suit seeks relief for Hayes’ and Melber’s grievously false statements about Mr. Straka’s conduct and ‘involvement’ with the events of January 6th.”
