Republican California Congressman (and bovine hater) Devin Nunes filed a lawsuit against NBC Universal, saying he was defamed by a comment MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow made linking him to a 2016 plot to work with a Russian agent to throw the 2016 election to Donald Trump, Bloomberg reports.
Nunes claims Maddow reported that Nunes had refused to give a package he had received from a Russian agent to the FBI. Nunes claims that he actually had given the package to the FBI, and that she failed to call for a comment to get the facts, demonstrating her malicious intent.
The ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, Nunes apparently doesn’t think his federal job is enough, because he’s had time to sue a number of different media companies for malice– CNN, the Washington Post, Esquire and McClatchy–as well as two Twitter accounts–“Devin Nunes’ Cow” and “Devin Nunes’ Mom.”
