"SNIP....

Rep. Devin Nunes’ attorney is representing one of the congressman’s former aides in a new defamation lawsuit against the news organization Politico.

Kashyap “Kash” Patel, a lawyer who worked for Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee when Nunes was the committee’s chairman, is suing Politico over an Oct. 23 story with the headline “Nunes Protege Fed Ukraine Info to Trump.” Fox was the first news organization to report on Patel’s lawsuit.

Patel is represented by Virginia attorney Steven Biss, who has filed five lawsuits on behalf of Nunes this year alleging that news organizations, Twitter, anonymous social media users and political consultants conspired against the California congressman. Four of the cases are active.

The news story at the center of Patel’s lawsuit reported that Patel tried to involve himself in the Trump administration’s Ukraine policy. Patel now works for the Trump administration in the National Security Council.
