CNN settles lawsuit with teen involved in viral protest

WASHINGTON, D.C. (NBC) – CNN settles a lawsuit with a Kentucky family over accusations started at a protest march in D.C.

You may remember the viral moment when a teen wearing a MAGA hat and an indigenous American stood face-to-face at a protest march last January.

17-year-old Nick Sandmann was at the center of it.

Sandmann’s family sued the network for $275 million claiming CNN waged a “vicious attack” against the student.

On Tuesday the parties settled the lawsuit. No details were released.

The Sandmann family also filed similar lawsuits against other national media outlets.
