Nick Sandmann's lawyer warns Brian Stelter that his tweet about the CNN lawsuit may cost him his job

The attorney representing Nick Sandmann warned Brian Stelter of CNN that a retweet from his social media account might cost him his job because it violates a confidentiality agreement about their lawsuit.

Lin Wood, Sandmann's lead attorney, tweeted a screenshot of the offending missive from CNN's media correspondent from his own account on Monday.

"This retweet by @brianstelter may have cost him his job at @CNN. It is called breach of confidentiality agreement," Wood said.

The retweet was of an exhortation by attorney Mark S. Zaid against speculation about the settlement of a lawsuit by Nick Sandmann, the Covington Catholic High School student from Kentucky.

Sandmann sued over the unfair coverage of a viral video of his confrontation with Native American elder and activist Nathan Phillips during the annual March for Life in Washington D.C. in January 2019. He settled a $275 million lawsuit against CNN a year later, and settled his $250 million lawsuit against the Washington Post on Friday.
