WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has turned away former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura's bid for reinstatement of a $1.8 million verdict in his defamation case against the estate of slain Navy SEAL and "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle.
The justices didn't comment Monday in leaving intact a decision by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to upend the verdict.
Kyle's autobiography was the basis for the 2014 film "American Sniper." Ventura, a former SEAL, took issue with Kyle's claim that Kyle punched Ventura at a California bar in 2006 for offensive comments about the SEALs.

Maybe Jessie should take over for Macho Man and bite into a Slim Jim- make a few bucks back. His conspiracy show was terrible....

Chris Kyle was still alive when the law suit started. I was not Jesse fault he died. Plus Jesse met him man to man and told him if he told the truth he would not bring it to the courts.
