He should win this lawsuit hands-down. Anyone who watches the whole video (and not a select 30 seconds) comes to that conclusion.
My guess is that the WaPo knows it and will settle out of court for $100m.

“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!
A viral encounter between Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann and a Native American protester has prompted the student to sue the Washington Post.
Lawyers for the teen filed a defamation lawsuit against the newspaper in Kentucky, and are seeking $250 million in damages. They are claiming the Washington Post falsely accused him and other students of racist acts as well as instigating a confrontation with Native American protester Nathan Phillips at a Washington, D.C. pro-life rally in January.
Sandmann said he did nothing wrong.
“As for as standing there, I had every right to do so,” he stated. “My position is that I was not disrespectful to Mr. Phillips — I respect him, I’d like to talk to him.”
