Sandmann's lawsuit against CNN comes less than a month after he filed a similar defamation suit against the Washington Post for $250 million.
Covington Catholic High School teenager Nicholas Sandmann filed a $275 million defamation lawsuit through his lawyers on Tuesday against CNN, claiming the cable news network’s coverage of the student’s interaction with Native American elder Nathan Phillips earlier this year amounted to a “vicious attack.”
Sandmann and his fellow students faced widespread backlash over the clip, with prominent media figures accusing them of racism. However, two days later they were exonerated after a longer video of the incident was shared online which showed that Phillips initiated the confrontation after the students were provoked by another organization.
Sandmann is seeking $75 million in compensatory damages for the harm suffered to his reputation and the emotional distress he experienced as a result of the public outcry over the media reports. He is also seeking $200 million in punitive damages.Sandmann’s lawsuit against CNN comes less than a month after he filed a similar suit against the Washington Post for $250 million. The complaint alleges that the Post attacked Sandmann for being “white” and sporting a “Make America Great Again” cap.
