Washington Post files to dismiss Covington Catholic teen's defamation lawsuit
Source: USA Today
CINCINNATI - The Washington Post's legal team has asked for the dismissal of the $250 million lawsuit filed against them by Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann.
The motion to dismiss was filed in federal court on Tuesday.
Nick, a 16-year-old Covington Catholic student, was thrust into the national spotlight when videos of him and his classmates interacting with others outside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., went viral in January.
Nick's legal team filed a similar lawsuit against CNN and sent dozens of letters requesting national media outlets and public figures to preserve evidence such as internal emails for potential lawsuits.
