Original Note:
Sacker is not an employee of CNN. Describing her as "CNN's own" or "CNN reporter Jade Sacker" is inaccurate. Sacker is a freelance photojournalist who documented the pro-Trump mob storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. She is not, nor has she ever been, employed by CNN. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/does-jade-sacker-work-for-cnn/ https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/03/17/fact-check-journalist-who-filmed-capitol-rioter-not-employed-cnn/4707083001/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jan/18/facebook-posts/photographer-man-arrested-capitol-siege-was-not-wo/
