Fox News
'Covington Kid' Nicholas Sandmann reached a settlement with NBC-Universal over the network's coverage of a 2019 interaction with a Native American elder in Washington, D.C.
"At this time I would like to release that NBC and I have reached a settlement," wrote Sandmann on Twitter, adding that the terms were confidential.
Following the 2019 incident in Washington, D.C., many media outlets and Democratic politicians criticized Sandmann for a confrontation with a Native American elder at the Lincoln Memorial following the march.
Sandmann was recorded on video wearing one of former President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign hats while smiling at the activist, Nathan Phillips, as Phillips beat a ceremonial drum and chanted at him in close proximity.
