Judge Rules Devin Nunes Can Sue NBC For Defamation

November 29, 2022 Republicans, Trump cultists

Reuters reports:

A U.S. judge on Monday said Devin Nunes, the former California congressman and an ally of former U.S. President Donald Trump, can sue NBCUniversal for defamation over a comment by Rachel Maddow concerning his relationship with a suspected Russian agent.

Without ruling on the merits, U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel in Manhattan said Nunes “plausibly allege[d] actual malice” with respect to a statement from a March 2021 broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show.”

Maddow was discussing a package addressed to Nunes from Andriy Derkach, a pro-Russia Ukrainian legislator, and said Nunes “refused to hand it over to the FBI, which is what you should do if you get something from somebody who is sanctioned by the U.S. as a Russian agent.”

Read the full article. Maddow is not a defendant. Nunes has lost so many of these lawsuits that it’s hard to keep track.
