Devin Nunes Sues for Libel Over "Investigators Examined Trump Media for Possible Money Laundering" Article

This is Nunes' latest libel lawsuit, just filed yesterday in Florida state court; I'm too slammed to write about it in detail, but I thought I'd pass along the Complaint (Nunes v. Guardian News & Media Ltd.). Here's the start of the Statement of Material Facts:

11. On March 15, 2023, Guardian published an online article written by Hugo Lowell, entitled "Federal investigators examined Trump Media for possible money laundering, sources say". [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/mar/15/trump-media-investigated-possible-money-laundering (the "Article")].

12. The Article contains the following false statements and defamatory implications of or concerning Nunes:

● The headline falsely states that "Federal investigators examined Trump Media for possible money laundering";

● The subheading of the Article falsely states that "New York prosecutors expanded criminal inquiry of company last year and examined acceptance of $8m with suspected Russian ties";
