A lawsuit worth $275 million was filed against CNN on Tuesday over the network's alleged "vicious" attack against Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann. Co-counsel for Sandmann, Todd McMurtry, in an exclusive appearance on Fox News' "The Story" Tuesday, said that his client's "character has now been determined by the lies issued by CNN" following their widespread coverage of Sandmann. Sandmann, a junior at Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky, became a target for outrage after a video of him standing face-to-face with a Native American man, Nathan Phillips, while wearing a red Make America Great Again hat surfaced in January. The 16-year-old was one of a group of students from Covington attending the anti-abortion March for Life in Washington, D.C., while Phillips was attending the Indigenous Peoples' March on the same day. Sandmann and Phillips have both said they were trying to defuse the situation.
