California Democratic Representative Ted Lieu responded to Congressman Devin Nunes' threat of a defamation lawsuit by sending a letter to Nunes' lawyer which read in part, 'Take your letter and shove it.'
"As I am sure you are aware," the letter from Nunes' lawyer began,"the United States Constitution and the common law faithfully protect a person's 'absolute' right to an unimpaired reputation."
"I received your letter dated December 31, 2019 in which you state your client Congressman Devin Nunes will sue me if I don't, among other actions issue a public apology to Devin Nunes," Lieu responded."It is true that I stated Congressman Nunes worked with Lev Parnas and conspired to undermine our own government."
California Representative Ted Lieu posted a picture on Twitter Friday showing his response to a threatened lawsuit against him by Congressman Devin Nunes which read in part,"Take your letter and shove it.""As you know, truth is a defense," Lieu continued.
