WASHINGTON _ A federal judge in Virginia dismissed Rep. Devin Nunes' lawsuit against the investigative research firm behind the so-called Steele dossier, citing shortcomings in the California Republican's legal complaint.
Judge Liam O'Grady on Friday granted motions to dismiss the case filed by the research firm Fusion GPS and a co-defendant, the advocacy group Campaign for Accountability. Politico first reported on the lawsuit's dismissal.
O'Grady dismissed Nunes' lawsuit without hearing oral arguments, writing that a hearing in his court "would not aid in the decisional process."
