One of the most controversial news stories of 2019 has resurfaced in the news.
Remember Nick Sandmann? He's the Covington Catholic High School Kid who was accosted and harassed by Black Hebrew Israelites and Native American activist Nathan Phillips.
After a video of the incident went viral, many of America's top tier journalists took to Twitter to wish violence against the young man.
Now it seems Sadmann may finally be getting a taste of justice.
CNN has been defeated by a Republican teenager from Kentucky.
CNN on Tuesday settled a defamation lawsuit filed by Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann over its botched coverage of a viral confrontation with a Native American elder that had portrayed the Kentucky teen as the aggressor.
Fox 19 first reported that CNN settled with Sandmann for an undisclosed amount. The $250 million defamation suit sought damages for the "emotional distress Nicholas and his family suffered" in the fallout of the network's reporting.
A lawyer for Sandmann declined to comment on the settlement but confirmed to Fox News that lawsuits against The Washington Post and NBC were ongoing. Fox 19 also reported that Sandmann attorney L. Lin Wood told the judge they planned to sue media company Gannett, the publisher of the Cincinnati Enquirer among other newspapers, within 60 days. Gannett did not immediately comment either.
