I believe the bolded to be accurate.Devin Nunes sues CNN for $435M over ‘false and defamatory’ Ukraine story | Fox News
Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., sued CNN for defamation on Tuesday, accusing the cable network of publishing a “demonstrably false hit piece” about him amid his high-profile opposition to the Trump impeachment inquiry.
The 47-page lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, accuses the liberal network of publishing “numerous egregiously false and defamatory” statements about Nunes on Nov. 22, 2019 when journalist Vicky Ward reported claims that Nunes met with Ukranian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, in Vienna in 2018 to dig "up dirt" on Hunter and Joe Biden.
Nunes, who has been leading GOP opposition to the House Democratic impeachment inquiry in the House Intelligence Committee, says he “did not go to Vienna or anywhere else in Austria in 2018” and “has never met” Shokin.
“CNN is the mother of fake news. It is the least trusted name. CNN is eroding the fabric of America, proselytizing, sowing distrust and disharmony. It must be held accountable,” the lawsuit, obtained by Fox News, states.

Devin Nunes was in Benghazi at the time CNN said he was in Vienna and he has the pictures to prove it. Nunes is a public figure so maybe they will get away with it but they cannot do it with malice. So we shall see how this plays out.
I believe the bolded to be accurate.
Not only will Nunes have to prove "actual malice" (NYT v Sullivan), but NYT vs United States would also seem to protect CNN's 1st A rights.
I don't see any way Nune's suit prevails. It's a stunt.
It's a stunt.
Perhaps but CNN has been pretty aggressive to Nunes and didn't do due diligence in checking on Nune's actual schedule. So we shall see how this goes for them. A civil jury may not be very sympathetic to CNN.I believe the bolded to be accurate.

So the ends justify the means to you.Nunes’ patently dishonest lickspittle behavior merits it.
Now that it is clear that he betrayed his colleagues by trying to conceal the fact that he was a co conspirator in Trump’s scheme, there’s no reason anyone should shed a tear.
Nunes should have recused himself from the hearings.
He should be subpoenaed and forced to testify before his colleagues.
Oh yeah that seems lie a legit source. :roll:It looks like CNN said Bondy said that Parnas said that a Ukrainian official said that he met w/ Nunes.
"Mr. Parnas learned from former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Victor Shokin that Nunes had met with Shokin in Vienna last December," said Bondy.
This is a piece of Bondy's defense for Parnas.
So it's legitimately related to the story and the public interest.
I'm thinking this is just another bull**** lawsuit.
Did Nunes win against his cow?
Sorry but I have a life outside from DP. I was caring for my grand child. Nunes was in Benghazi when CNN said he was in Vienna and he has proof of he whereabouts. Nunes wasn't even on the same continent.SLC, where did you run off to so quickly...care to explain what Nunes was doing in Europe? It seems he was, in fact, in Europe at the time he supposedly met with Parnas and the prosecutor. Why precisely would he need to meet with the Ukrainian prosecutor?
Yeah....nothing.Care to explain what Nunes was doing in Europe?
So the ends justify the means to you.
Yeah....nothing.
Link?Then why do government documents say that he was in Europe from the end of November until early December? Why are we paying for him to go to Europe and for his lodgings if he is not doing anything?
Now you have hurt my feels. :lol:I don’t know what you’re talking about.
