“#Judge rejects Rep. Devin Nunes defamation suit against CNN<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

A defamation lawsuit U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes brought against CNN was tossed out by a Manhattan judge on Friday.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit seeking over $435 million in damages was rejected by U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain, who said the California Republican failed to request a retraction in a timely fashion or adequately state his claims.<\/p>\n

Nunes had alleged the cable news<\/a> company intentionally published a false news article on Nov. 22, 2019, and engaged in a conspiracy to defame him and damage his personal and professional reputation.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit<\/a> said CNN published a report containing false claims that Nunes was involved in efforts to get \u201cdirt\u201d on then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for Nunes said in court papers that CNN knew the statements made by Lev Parnas, and included in their report, were false.<\/p>\n

Parnas, an associate of former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, has pleaded not guilty in Manhattan federal court to charges alleging he made illegal contributions to politicians he thought could aid his political and business interests. His trial is scheduled for October.<\/p>\n

Parnas and another co-defendant worked with Giuliani to try to get Ukrainian officials to investigate Biden\u2019s son, prosecutors said. Giuliani has said he knew nothing about the political contributions by the men. He has not been charged.<\/p>\n

The Nunes lawsuit said Parnas was telling lies to try to get immunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was obvious to everyone \u2014 including disgraceful CNN \u2014 that Parnas was a fraudster and a hustler. It was obvious that his lies were part of a thinly-veiled attempt to obstruct justice,\u201d the lawsuit said.<\/p>\n

In court papers, CNN lawyers said Nunes and his staff had declined to comment prior to publication on whether Nunes had met with a Ukrainian prosecutor.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of denying the report before it was published, Rep. Nunes waited until it app<\/a>eared and then filed this suit seeking more than $435 million in damages \u2014 labeling CNN \u2018the mother of fake news,\u2019\u201d CNN lawyers wrote. \u201cIn his rush to sue, however, Rep. Nunes overlooked the need first to request a retraction.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lawyers noted that California law, which Swain said was appropriate for the case, requires that a retraction be demanded in writing within 20 days of the publication of a story.<\/p>\n

Messages seeking comment were sent to lawyers for Nunes and CNN.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
