WASHINGTON _ A Virginia judge overseeing a pair of Rep. Devin Nunes' lawsuits against news organizations handed the California Republican two setbacks in one week, granting motions by The Washington Post and CNN to move the cases to other jurisdictions.
In both decisions, Judge Robert E. Payne wrote there was "no logical connection" for the California congressman to sue the news organizations at a federal court in Richmond, Va.
Payne moved Nunes' case against The Washington Post to the District of Columbia, and the CNN lawsuit to the Southern District of New York.
