Buzz: More Nunes media lawsuits, DHS’s Michael Bars to NSC, Massachusetts still ballot canvassing – Washington Examiner

Look for more lawsuits against liberal media outlets from Rep. Devin Nunes.

The California Republican who filed a $435 million suit against CNN for a story that he traveled to Vienna to dig up dirt on Joe Biden, said he will file more against those media outlets he said hate him.

“The lawsuits will keep coming,” he told our Larry O’Connor’s Examining Politics podcast. He even suggested he’d target media that overstated his push for people to “go to your local pub” during the coronavirus crisis. He said that they are “not going to get away with it with me.” …

We followed their instructions by going to town clerk offices to turn in signature papers… this was the result. #mapoli pic.twitter.com/zPfCszGQrU
