A federal judge in Kansas City, Kansas, recently dismissed a lawsuit against a Tennessee congressman who wrongly accused a Kansas man of involvement in a deadly shooting incident that occurred during a rally celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory earlier this year.
The judge ruled that the case should not be handled in Kansas, as the congressman has minimal connections to the state, where the plaintiff resides. The plaintiff's legal representative mentioned plans to refile the lawsuit in Washington, D.C., where the congressman was located when the false accusations were made on social media.
