WASHINGTON _ Rep. Devin Nunes' attorney last month demanded that his 2018 Democratic political opponent pressure an anonymous social media writer to delete comments on Twitter that mock Republican Nunes "day and night."
Andrew Janz, the Fresno County prosecutor who ran against Nunes in 2018, interpreted the Oct. 11 letter from Nunes' attorney Steven Biss as a threat to sue him.
"This is the first step in a lawsuit, to send a demand letter like this," Janz said.
