Twitter demands legal fees from Devin Nunes' attorney over attempts to identify owner of 'Cow' account

WASHINGTON _ Twitter is demanding that Rep. Devin Nunes' lawyer pay its legal fees in a new court filing responding to one of the Republican congressman's attempts to identify anonymous people who heckle him online.

Nunes is suing Twitter in a Virginia court, but the new filing is part of a lawsuit that is not related to the California lawmaker.
