Steve Benen is a producer for 'The Rachel Maddow Show,' the editor of MaddowBlog and an MSNBC political contributor. He's also the bestselling author of 'The Impostors: How Republicans Quit Governing and Seized American Politics.'

By all appearances, lawyers representing the One America News Network — generally known as OAN — have been rather busy lately. A couple of weeks ago, for example, the far-right media outlet, facing a defamation lawsuit from Smartmatic, settled the case with the voting machine company. Last summer, OAN and one of its on-air personalities also reportedly settled a defamation lawsuit brought by a former executive at Dominion Voting Systems.

OAN said in a statement yesterday that it was pulling the story entirely. “To be clear, no evidence suggests that Mr. Cohen and Ms. Daniels were having an affair and no evidence suggests that Mr. Cohen ‘cooked up’ the scheme to extort the Trump Organization before the 2016 election,” the network conceded. The statement went on to say, “This retraction is part of a settlement reached with Michael Cohen.
