The lawsuit, filed by Sandmann’s parents Ted and Julie, claims that the
Post“ignored basic journalist standards because it wanted to advance its well-known and easily documented, biased agenda against President Donald J. Trump by impugning individuals perceived to be supporters of the President.”
“The
Post did not conduct a proper investigation before publishing its false and defamatory statements of and concerning Nicholas,” the lawsuit reads.
Kristine Coratti Kelly, the
Post’s Vice President for Communications
told Reuters, “We are reviewing a copy of the lawsuit and we plan to mount a vigorous defense.”
