Covington Catholic High School student sues NBC for $275 million
Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann is suing NBCUniversal for a whopping $275 million for defamation over the media coverage he received earlier this year, his lawyer said Wednesday. Sandmann was at the center of a viral controversy back in January, alongside reports suggesting that he and his classmates had initiated a confrontation with Native American elder Nathan Phillips outside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Subsequent reporting and video evidence contradicted that version of events. This marks the third major lawsuit Sandmann's legal team has launched. The team is also suing the Washington Post for $250 million as well as CNN for $275 million. Sandmann's lawyer previously suggested that the Associated Press and HBO could face similar lawsuits.
