On Tuesday Lin Wood, the high-profile attorney representing Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann, filed a $250 million lawsuit against the Washington Post for defamation.
The lawsuit claims that the paper “vilified” Sandmann who was seen in a viral video being confronted by far-left activist Nathan Phillips because of the fact that he is white.
On Wednesday President Trump cheered Nick Sandmann’s lawsuit against the “Fake News” Washington Post:
“The Washington Post ignored basic journalistic standards because it wanted to advance its well-known and easily documented biased agenda against President Donald J. Trump.” Covington student suing WAPO. Go get them Nick. Fake News!

President Trump added this on the toxic state of the American liberal mainstream media.
The Press has never been more dishonest than it is today. Stories are written that have absolutely no basis in fact. The writers don’t even call asking for verification. They are totally out of control. Sadly, I kept many of them in business. In six years, they all go BUST!
