WASHINGTON _ Rep. Devin Nunes filed another lawsuit this week drawing attention to what he believes was unfair news coverage of him in 2018, this time suing a magazine writer who detailed how the California congressman's family had moved its farming operations to Iowa.
The complaint filed in an Iowa federal court is Nunes' fifth lawsuit this year. It's the fourth in which he alleges that groups conspired to damage his chances at re-election last year, and his second complaint against a news organization.
In the new case, Nunes is suing magazine writer Ryan Lizza and New York-based Hearst Magazines. The complaint centers on a September 2018 story in Esquire magazine called "Devin Nunes' Family Farm Is Hiding a Politically Explosive Secret."
