Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) filed a lawsuit against newspaper publisher The McClatchy Co. and political operative Liz Mair, claiming $150 million in damages for defamation.
The suit alleges that McClatchy conspired with Mair and her opposition research outlet, Mair Strategies, to spread false statements about Nunes, the former chairman and the current ranking member of the House intelligence committee.
