ICYMI: Covington student settles with CNN for undisclosed amount in $275million lawsuit

CNN has agreed to settle a lawsuit brought against them by a Kentucky high school student who says he was vilified and bullied by the news network in his stand-off with a native American protester last year.

Nicholas Sandmann had been seeking $275 million in damages from CNN over their coverage of the confrontation he had with activist Nathan Phillips during a field trip to Washington DC in January 2019.

In the suit, filed back in March, Sandmann's attorney claimed that '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.'
