Nunes alleges that Twitter 'knowingly acted as a vessel for opposition research” and accused the social media platform of 'shadow banning' conservative voices.
By Allyson Chiu Allyson Chiu Reporter Email Bio Follow March 19 at 12:03 AM There’s a cow on Twitter. But it isn’t just any cow – it claims to belong to Rep. Devin Nunes .
As of late Monday, the suit was not listed in Virginia state court records, where Fox News reported it had been filed. Nunes and his attorney, Steven S. Biss, did not respond to requests for comment late Monday. In an automated email, Mair said she had not yet reviewed the lawsuit and declined to comment. Twitter also declined to comment.
Trump shared the news of Nunes’s lawsuit on Twitter, tweeting a link on Monday night to a story from the Daily Beast.Mair, the suit alleged, “relentlessly smeared and defamed” the California congressman. The complaint highlighted a June tweet from Mair, in which she referenced information reported in a Fresno Bee story that “implied that Nunes colluded with prostitutes and cocaine addicts, that Nunes does cocaine, and that Nunes was involved in a ‘Russian money laundering front.
“The case is not really well thought through,” Bickerton, who has practiced libel law for nearly 40 years, said of Nunes’s suit. He noted that Nunes, a public official and public figure, will have to overcome the “actual malice” standard set by New York Times Co. v. Sullivan in 1964. Actual malice is defined as “a statement made with a reckless disregard for truth,” and requires the person making the statement to have a “high degree of awareness” that it is false.
