US teenager, Nick Sandmann, who features in a viral video confrontation with a Native American elder, is now suing the Washington Post for $349 million for defamation.
The lawsuit claims that the newspaper “wrongfully targeted and bullied” the teen to advance its “bias” against President Donald Trump because Mr Sandmann is a white Catholic who wore a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat.
The Washington Post's communications vice-president Kristine Coratti Kelly said the paper is "reviewing plans to mount "a vigorous defence".
