COVINGTON, Ky. (FOX19) - CNN agreed Tuesday to settle a lawsuit with Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann.
The amount of the settlement was not made public during a hearing at the federal courthouse in Covington, Kentucky.
Sandmann’s lawsuit sought $800 million from CNN, the Washington Post and NBC Universal.
Trial dates are still not set for Sandmann’s lawsuit against NBC Universal and the Washington Post.
The Washington Post suit sought $250 million. A federal judge let a portion of the suit go forward after The Post filed a motion to dismiss it.
Sandmann’s attorney, Lin Wood, said, “This case will be tried not one minute earlier or later than when it is ready.”
The lawsuits were filed following an incident in Jan. 2019 in Washington, D.C. involving Covington Catholic High School students. Videos of that incident garnered national attention.
The initial video showed the self-identified Sandmann, now a senior at CovCath, and Nathan Phillips, an indigenous man who was participating in the Indigenous Peoples March. Sandmann and his classmates were in D.C. for the March For Life.

Time has come for the drummer to pay the piper.
This is one lawsuit that I hope he takes them for as much as possible. These pleebs need to be brought down.
Anyone knowledgable about such things who can guess the terms and what the kid was paid?
A least the lawyer got paid, unless their pro bono. Hope the kid gets some money
I have no idea, but financially, I could really use a smear campaign against me right now ...
A nice TRUMP supporter win. 1 down 2 to go!
Jeff Zucker has done a fine job as head of CNN. (/sarc)
I hope that it was painful enough for CNN and the rest of the media to pause before they try to pass off their lies as the truth and spreading propaganda...
If it is a large settlement, I doubt that he'll keep much of it. I expect him to donate a good portion of it to some worthwhile charity.
That kid deserves to get enough to live and support his future family for the next 70 years, at least. He has been black balled from getting into most colleges and getting a good job.
This is great news for me as I self identify as Nick Sandman now
WOW!!!
Yay for Nick!
Good job my young man!
One for our team!

“I have no idea, but financially, I could really use a smear campaign against me right now ...”
I heard you were seen with John Kerry and Tom Hanks doing unspeakable things to Kola Bears.
Call me at (202) 224-5141 and we can discuss terms...
And his school. He owns them.
I am sad they settled... I understand why...
But we really need legally on the record these liars being found guilty for what they are...
CNN blinked. Who’s your daddy?
This is a win, and I trust the amount paid is significant enough to hurt CNN. This is a marathon war, folks and we can use lawfare as well to win battles.
