WASHINGTON _ Republicans who typically support Rep. Devin Nunes are less willing to speak up for him since he filed a lawsuit against one of his own constituents.
The lawsuit is Nunes' third in which he alleges that political consultants conspired against him to damage his chances for reelection last year. Nunes, R-Calif., won the race against Democratic challenger Andrew Janz, but by a closer margin than in his previous campaigns.
The previous two cases targeted social media giant Twitter and McClatchy. They also named Liz Mair, a Republican political strategist.
