Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) has filed yet another defamation lawsuit.

The California congressman this time is suing the McClatchy newspaper company over its reporting on him, The New York Times reports. His lawsuit takes particular issue with an article in The Fresno Bee about a server who had sued a winery that Nunes is an investor in, saying that on a cruise with its top investors she was asked to work, prostitutes were hired and guests used cocaine. The article said it was unclear whether Nunes was affiliated with the event.
