The first amendment protects the press from whatever crime he thinks they committed. The only way it wouldn’t is if the information was in fact not from him, and then he may be able to seek damages for libel. That said, he would also have to prove that CNN knew it wasn’t him at the time it was published and did so anyways, or at least that is what precedent seems to be.
