The lawsuit claims that the Washington Post "wrongfully targeted and bullied Nicholas because he was the white, Catholic student wearing a red 'Make America Great Again' souvenir cap on a school field trip to the January 18 March for Life in Washington, D.C."
The altercation between Phillips and the Covington teens went mega-viral after many in the media assumed that the Trump supporters had accosted the Native American activist — later videos surfaced showing that they had been the victims of racial taunting.
The lawsuit claimed the WaPo "ignored basic journalist standards," when reporting on the story.
Attorneys Lin Wood and Todd McMurtry, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the Sandmann family, said that this was only the first in a series of lawsuits they are planning against the media.
The Bishop of Covington also sent a letter of apology to the families of the Covington Catholic students and acknowledged that there was a rush to judgement in their initial condemnation of the teens.
