On Tuesday, North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson filed a defamation lawsuit. In the 16-page filing, he provided no evidence substantiating his denials.
North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson on Tuesday filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit after revelations emerged 26 days ago that he reportedly wrote a number of lewd and offensive posts on a pornographic website called Nude Africa.
