$72.5M Lawsuit. HASAN: Asmon 'Basically Admitted It'? ASMON: 'An Insane Reach' | Asmongold vs Hasan

Hasan Piker is suing CNN's Scott Jennings for $72.5 million over an edited "lynching" clip. Asmongold now says "Hasan absolutely has a case" (last week he said "You will lose this"), but also that "Hasan lies constantly" and accused Ben Shapiro of "the exact same thing that he's suing Scott Jennings for." Hasan played Asmongold saying he "probably couldn't sue Hasan for calling me a Nazi" and said: "He basically admitted it in the video." Asmongold: "an insane reach." Who's right?

Hasan is from his stream at ~2:46-3:17 pm ET and, live from Sacramento, ~6:47 pm ET. WHAT HAPPENED On Tue Oct 27, Hasan filed Piker v. Jennings in federal court in Washington, D.C., seeking $72.5M for defamation over a viral clip that Snopes says was spliced from three of his streams. Senate Republicans had posted the clip on Aug 6, before Jennings aired it. On Oct 28 both streamers reacted, and it got personal: Hasan says Asmongold "basically admitted" it; Asmongold calls that "an insane reach." FACT-CHECK BOARD (one standard, both sides) 1. Asmongold: "Hasan didn't say the black people needed to be lynched": TRUE. Snopes found the viral clip was spliced from three of Hasan's streams. 2. Asmongold: "the literal Senate Republicans account... posted it before Scott Jennings did": TRUE. Senate Republicans posted the clip on Aug 6, 2026. 3. Asmongold: "Hasan absolutely has a case": OPINION. On Oct 22 he told Hasan, "You will lose this." The court will decide. 4. Asmongold: Hasan accused Ben Shapiro of "the exact same thing that he's suing Scott Jennings for": OPINION. The older Hasan clip played on Asmongold's stream was not independently dated by us. 5. Hasan: Jennings has "21 days to respond": TRUE, once he is served, under the federal rules (FRCP 12). 6. Hasan: "I have no enemies": DISPUTED. Last December he told The Guardian he loves when his enemies hate him. 7. Hasan: Asmongold "basically admitted it": MISLEADING. In the clip Asmongold says he "probably couldn't sue Hasan for calling me a Nazi". His point was how high the bar for defamation is, not an admission.
