Devin Nunes sues Washington Post. It's his 7th lawsuit in 12 months




https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article240797241.html

Nunes also is suing Twitter, CNN and Esquire Magazine. In the Twitter case, Nunes is suing the authors of two anonymous social media accounts that mock him under their satirical names “Devin Nunes’ Cow” and “Devin Nunes’ Mom.”

Nunes withdrew one lawsuit his campaign filed against a retired farmer in his congressional district. The farmer was among several people who contested Nunes’ description of himself as a farmer on ballots that went to California voters in 2018.

Last month, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit Nunes filed against the investigative research firm Fusion GPS and a left-leaning advocacy group called the Campaign for Accountability.
