The New York Times, Rolling Stone, ABC, and CBS’s motions to dismiss a defamation lawsuit brought forward by teenager Nick Sandmann have all been denied, the 18-year-old announced on Twitter on Thursday.

Sandmann filed suits against a number of media entities after video footage surfaced of an incident in January 2019 which showed the Covington Catholic student, then 16, and his classmates standing outside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.
