A federal judge has thrown out a Kentucky teen’s lawsuit accusing the Washington Post of falsely labeling him a racist after an encounter with a Native American man at the Lincoln Memorial.
Nicholas Sandmann, a student at Covington Catholic High School, sued the newspaper for $250 million in February, alleging that it had engaged in “targeting and bullying” and modern “McCarthyism.”
Sandmann’s attorneys also threatened legal action against the Associated Press and other news organizations, and filed multimillion-dollar lawsuits against the networks CNN and NBC. In a letter to the AP in February, attorney L. Lin Wood called on the AP to “retract and correct” what his letter asserts are “defamatory statements.”
In Sandmann’s lawsuit against the Washington Post, his attorneys highlighted seven articles and three Twitter social media posts they considered defamatory to Sandmann.
