CNN's chief media correspondent Brian Stelter may have landed himself in hot water, according to the attorney of Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann.
Last week, Sandmann announced that The Washington Post settled the $250 million defamation lawsuit he filed over its botched coverage of a viral confrontation with a Native American elder who had portrayed the Kentucky teen as the aggressor. This followed the multimillion dollar settlement agreement CNN reached with the teenager back in January.
However, Sandmann's attorney, Lin Wood, spotted a retweet from Stelter of a tweet written by attorney Mark Zaid, who speculated about how much money the teen walked away with from the settlement.
"Those with zero legal experience (as far as I can tell) should not be conjecturing on lawsuits they know nothing about. What kind of journalism is that?" Zaid asked. "I've litigated defamation cases. [Sandmann] was undoubtedly paid nuisance value settlement & nothing more."
Wood accused the "Reliable Sources" host of breaching his network's own confidentiality agreement with his client.
"This retweet by @brianstelter may have cost him his job at @CNN. It is called breach of confidentiality agreement. Brian Stelter is a liar. I know how to deal with liars," Wood tweeted with a screenshot of Stelter's retweet.

CNN was angry that day my friends. Angrier than an old man sending soup back in a deli.
Costanza is in trouble.
Isn’t that akin to being the smallest Pygmy in the Congo?
Imagine the loons if Laura Ingram were named a host at CNN.
He could go work for the Yankees.
Marine Biologist, hah! That is probably the top dream career of the liberal left mind. You see it in novels and movies and tv shows all the time. There he goes, crashing through the waves on his research ship! He is saving the whales and the ecosystem from evil rightwing climate change deniers.
“...botched coverage...” Seems “biased” would be a much more accurate deescriptor.
“First peoples, probably so”
Almost certainly not. Research it.
Before anyone gets too excited there is a vast difference between “May cost him his job” and “will cost him his job”.
“Dump your att phone right now!”
I would, but just got it.
Plus, I’m under a three-year contract to pay off a new, unwanted, smartphone.
Yep...there’s is that!! LOL
I thought she was on our side?
Lin Wood is WWG1WGA. 
“Brian Stelter is a liar. I know how to deal with liars,” Wood tweeted with a screenshot of Stelter’s retweet”
I hope so, no one else seems to.
Had to look that one up. I tried to watch Seinfeld one time, but it was just a bunch of citiots I couldn’t relate to. Wasn’t even funny.
