A federal judge ruled on Monday that Devin Nunes, an ally of former President Donald Trump and former California congressman, can sue NBC Universal for defamation.
Devin Nunes filed a defamation lawsuit against NBC Universal in 2021 over a comment made by MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow about his alleged relationship with a Russian agent. As Breitbart News[Maddow claimed] Nunes received a package from a Russia-connected Ukrainian under sanctions from the United States, a man named Andriy Derkach, and inaccurately [claimed] Nunes hid this from the FBI.
The 22-page decision issued by U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel argued that Maddow failed to cite any source for her claim against Nunes. Though the judge acknowledged she might have possibly known about a similar accusation in a Politico article, he ultimately ruled that “a court does not weigh competing, plausible theories of actual malice on a motion to dismiss.
“All they had to do was publicly tweet out, at the time, tweet out ‘Hey, we apologize, we got this story wrong,’ and then she should have went on the air and said ‘hey I ran a story last week or whatever and we apologize to Devin Nunes.’ Right? That’s all they had to do,” Nunes said. “But now they let it stay out there, let it stay out there and look this is the problem with this—there are people out there, millions of Americans, who believe this crap.”, U.S.
