Federal Judge William Bertelsman reopened the $250 million defamation case filed by Covington Catholic student Nicholas Sandmann against the Washington Post in late October.
Sixteen-year-old Catholic school student Nicholas Sandmann was smeared by the left-wing press after he was falsely accused of smirking at a far-left Native-American activist named Nathan Phillips. He was receiving death threats and widely mocked by the left across social media in response to reports in WaPo, CNN, and NBC.
The media lied. The entire narrative was a lie. Now Judge Bertelsman will allow the lawsuits against all three publications to move forward.
This is a case that might put the media under some kind of control.
Let me thank @ewarren for removing our Covington case to federal court & giving us the chance to brief the issue. After briefing, the judge also reconsidered & reopened the Sandmann case against the Post. Despite many big corporate media law firms against us, justice is coming. https://t.co/1d7f1K4CK6

The same judge ruled in similar cases against CNN and NBC and he has allowed them to move forward on the same basis as the WaPo case.
Nicholas Sandman’s attorney Lin Wood cheered the decision by Judge Bertelsman today.
As predicted, today Judge Bertelsman entered an order allowing the Nicholas Sandmann case against NBCUniversal to proceed to discovery just as he had earlier ruled with respect to WaPo & CNN cases. Huge, huge win!

President Trump weighed in when the judge allowed The Washington Post (WaPo) lawsuit to move ahead.
A Federal Judge is allowing the Nick Sandman libel suit to move forward against the thoroughly disgusting Washington Post (which is no longer available at the White House!). He could now have a good chance of winning. Go Nick!

To the MSM, we say:
May the courts rule in favor of the teens and their families, hugely.
That would be justice. Let the MSM know they can’t just throw anything out there to make headlines.
Just sayin’.
