A judge threw out Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes’s defamation claims against Esquire magazine and writer Ryan Lizza for reporting Nunes and his family company running the farm knowingly hired undocumented migrant workers, Politico reports, because the judge determined the statement was “substantially, objectively true.”
U.S. District Court Judge C.J. Williams, an appointee of Nunes’s current boss Donald Trump, ruled that the information in the September 2018 Esquire article “Devin Nunes’s Family Farm is Hiding a Politically Explosive Secret” was true, undermining the claims of Nunes, other members of his family, and the family corporation that runs the dairy, NuStar Farms in their defamation suit.
While this lawsuit was tossed, the Twitter account Devin Nunes’ Cow posted that the lawsuits against them and another account, @DevinNunesMom, carry on, because that’s what’s really important for the CEO of a middling social media app.
