Jesse Ventura’s Settlement
In a press conference, the ex-wrestler was smiling when told reporters that the settlement amount is there sitting in his bank account. He refused to state the exact amount of the settlement, but he seemed all smiles about his win.
Ventura called the author “American Liar” and said that the amount of the settlement did not stem from Kylie’s estate or widow. He felt vindicated after this battle ended with the author and former U.S. Navy SEAL.
Amidst all the excitement over the win, both the former Governor and his lawyer did not reveal the amount of settlement.
Attorney David Olsen said, “The settlement and all the negotiations surrounding the settlement are confidential.”

He was killed by a troubled fellow veteran at a gun range in 2013.
There was so much negative publicity around the matter that the former politician apparently has not been able to secure a job anywhere. This led Ventura to opt for a post as an anchor in a commentary show for a Russian-funded television network (RT).
