Kyle Rittenhouse’s defense attorney was less than pleased with how most news outlets covered the shooting that brought his client into the national spotlight.

Rittenhouse’s attorney, Mark Richards, made an appearance Sunday on NewsNation Now. He discussed how many news outlets covered the trial and the original incident that got the 18-year-old arrested. Host Ashleigh Banfield asked the attorney about recent recommendations from Nicholas Sandmann encouraging Rittenhouse to consider filing defamation cases against the news outlets who spread misinformation about him. Richards specifically went after CNN and MSNBC for spreading false information.
