Lara Logan, a former correspondent for CBS’s “60 Minutes” has filed a $25 million defamation suit against New York Media and writer Joe Hagan over a story they published in New York magazine in 2014 which she claims “derailed” her career.

The 6,000-word article in New York magazine concerned a 2013 report by Logan on “60 minutes” about an attack on a U.S. government diplomatic compound in 2012 in Libya, which killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
