CNN reached a legal settlement with a security contractor Friday after a Florida jury found the network had defamed him by suggesting he was charging "exorbitant prices" to evacuate people from Afghanistan after the U.S. withdrawal in August 2021.

Details of the settlement have not been disclosed. But jurors found the network should pay $5 million to U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young for lost finances and suffering, and said he was eligible for more in punitive damages. The final figure could have been far higher.
