Sandmann, family sue CNN for $275M in Covington Catholic controversy

By Nicole Darrah | Fox News

A lawsuit worth $275 million was filed against CNN on Tuesday over the network's alleged "vicious" attack against Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann.

The lawsuit, which was filed just after 3 p.m. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, claims that CNN has "elevated false, heinous accusations of racist conduct" against Sandmann and failed to adhere to "well-established journalistic standards and ethics."



Sandmann's attorney, Todd McMurtry, will appear exclusively on Fox News' "The Story" Tuesday at 7:45 p.m.

Sandmann, a junior at Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky, became a target for outrage after a video of him standing face-to-face with a Native American man, Nathan Phillips, while wearing a red Make America Great Again hat surfaced in January.

Whatever he gets, the settlement must include public acknowledgement by the media of their duplicity.

All well and good. Three Cheers.

Now let's see what he ends up with.


I've seen JNJ lose $1.25B in an Alabama jury verdict that only took 3.5 hrs.

And JNJ get it reduced to $7.5M by the State Supreme Court.
