They sued CNN, NBC, others. Now Kentucky teen fires lawyer (Lin Wood) touting Trump conspiracies

Kentucky teenager Nicholas Sandmann {of Covington Catholic HS notoriety}, who went viral when a group of students met political demonstrators in D.C. in 2019, has fired his lawyer who tried to help Donald Trump overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Sandmann’s lawyer was L. Lin Wood; he has garnered national attention due to his involvement in highly-publicized cases. He represented Sandmann when the Kentucky teenager settled lawsuits with CNN and the Washington Post over their coverage of Sandmann. Wood has also recently represented accused Kenosha, Wis., shooter Kyle Rittenhouse.

“Lin Wood has been terminated as counsel at this time,” Sandmann said in a tweet Monday night. “His comments about me are untrue, unfair, and unfounded.”
