RICHMOND, Va. (CN) A Virginia defamation lawyer appeared unlikely to convince the Fourth Circuit Wednesday afternoon that a handful of the country’s largest media companies were behind a conspiracy to snatch a book deal away from a woman adjacent to General Michael Flynn and the Russian investigation.
“These allegations are extremely defamatory and they were made intentionally to destroy the reputation of General Flynn and plaintiff,” argued Charlottesville-based attorney Steven Biss, who represented Congressman Devin Nunes in several failed defamation claims in the state.
