Javascript in links (how to remove)

[ad_1]

How do I remove the Javascript attributes in this URL? The URL is inserted as normal by pasting the URL into the link window. But WP is inserting this Java Script. I do not see it in the link itself and not seeing. it in page source, but if I imspect the element it is there.

<a href=”https://www.cnn.com/” onclick=”javascript:window.open(‘https://www.cnn.com’, ‘\_blank’, ‘noopener’); return false;”> CNN</a>

looking to have it as a simple link

<a href=”https://www.cnn.com/”> CNN</a>
