Twitter Demands Legal Fees In Nunes’ Fake Cow Suit

The Sacramento Bee reports:



Twitter is demanding that Rep. Devin Nunes pay its legal fees in a new court filing responding to one of the Republican congressman’s attempts to identify anonymous people who heckle him online.

Nunes, R-Tulare, is suing Twitter, two parody accounts known as Devin Nunes’ Cow and Devin Nunes’ Mom and a Republican strategist in Henrico County, Virginia court. In that case, Nunes accuses Twitter of negligently allowing the other three defendants to defame him on the social media platform.

Nunes filed six lawsuits in 2019 alleging political operatives, journalists, parody accounts and others had defamed him online. He’s also alleged multiple conspiracies against him. Five of those lawsuits are still active.
