Kyle Rittenhouse legal team could take Facebook to court

One of the lawyers who successfully represented Covington Catholic student Nicholas Sandmann during his defamation cases has joined the legal team of Kyle Rittenhouse. The high-profile lawyer proclaimed that he believes there are as many as 15 "solid" defamation cases against "large defendants" like Facebook and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Numerous influential media outlets painted Sandmann as an aggressor in a 2019 confrontation with Native American activist Nathan Phillips following the March for Life near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Lawyer Todd McMurty was part of the legal team that represented Sandmann in their defamation lawsuits against some of the biggest and most powerful media corporations in the world. Sandmann's legal team was able to force settlements with CNN, NBC, and the Washington Post.
