Congressman Nunes’ defamation suit tossed

Sebastopol CA

Description

WASHINGTON — A Virginia judge has dismissed the second of two lawsuits California Rep. Devin Nunes filed against a Republican political strategist who he claimed spread defamatory information about him leading up to his 2018 reelection campaign. Judge John Marshall’s ruling from earlier this month in Virginia’s Henrico County Circuit Court dismisses Liz Mair from a case Nunes filed against her, Twitter and anonymous writers who heckled him on Twitter under the fictional personas of a cow and his mother. Nunes continues to attempt to sue the Twitter personalities known as “Devin Nunes’ cow,” @DevinCow, and “Devin Nunes’ Alt-Mom,” @NunesAlt, although he has not been able to serve them with a complaint. The ruling to dismiss Mair, obtained by the Fresno Bee, reads that Nunes’ complaint failed to describe the exact words Mair used to defame him. Sad. Pathetic. Repubes.
