CNN agreed to settle the defamation lawsuit with Covington Catholic High School student Nicolas Sandmann on Tuesday for an undisclosed amount.

Sandmann filed a lawsuit against CNN for $275 million for their coverage of the “confrontation” between himself and Omaha Native American Nathan Phillips at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The suit, which was filed in March, read, “CNN brought down the full force of its corporate power, influence, and wealth on Nicholas by falsely attacking, vilifying, and bullying him despite the fact that he was a minor child.”

An opinion piece by CNN accused the students of acting with “racist disrespect” towards Phillips.

Initially, Phillips said the boys approached him, but later after a video surfaced proving his claim false, Phillips admitted he walked up to their group. A $5 million lawsuit is also expected to be filed against Phillips even though a judge said that Phillips does not have the money.

Lawsuits were also filed against NBC Universal and The Washington Post each for $250 million or more by Sandmann and he will be filing a suit against the owners of The Enquirer, Gannett.

The $275 million lawsuit against CNN was filed by Sandmann’s attorneys Lin Wood and Todd McMurtry in March of 2019 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky.

Attorney Wood told Fox News in 2019, “CNN was probably more vicious in its direct attacks on Nicholas than The Washington Post. And CNN goes into millions of individuals’ homes. CNN couldn’t resist the idea that here’s a guy with a young boy, that Make America Great Again cap on. So they go after him.”

“They really went after Nicholas with the idea that he was part of a mob that was attacking the Black Hebrew Israelites, yelling racist slurs at the Black Hebrew Israelites. Totally false,” explained Wood. “Now you say you’ve seen the tape; if you took the time to look at the full context of what happened that day, Nicholas Sandmann did absolutely nothing wrong. He was, as I’ve said to others, he was the only adult in the room.”

Wood stated the damages were sought because of the “emotional distress Nicolas and his family suffered.” After the school trip to Washington, D.C., the family had to relocate temporarily from their home and Nicholas was not permitted to return to school. Sandmann’s attorneys also said the money they are seeking is designed to “deter the defendants”from doing the same thing to others in the future.

Last February, Sandmann’s legal team published a video which provides vital context to the incident that occurred.
