Nunes senior aide hit with sanctions as part of CNN lawsuit
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes speaking at the 2018 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in National Harbor, Maryland.
A federal judge hit a senior aide and attorney of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) with sanctions ordering them to pay the cost of legal fees for a lawsuit they filed against CNN.
The federal judge s sanctions come several weeks after he dismissed Harvey s lawsuit against the network. At the time, Bennett noted that his decision was based on Harvey s failure to prove that the news outlet s reporting was materially false. Harvey and Biss also filed their amended complaint seeking to appeal Bennett s previous dismissal of the case, but to no avail.
