North Carolina's former Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson on Friday withdrew his defamation lawsuit against CNN that challenged a report about him making explicit posts on a pornography website’s message board over a decade ago.

CNN wants a defamation lawsuit against it filed by North Carolina's lieutenant governor dismissed. Mark Robinson filed the suit against the network for its report saying he once made explicit posts on a pornography website's message board. The September report nearly led to the collapse of the Republican's campaign for governor.
