Nunes's hunt for Twitter cow's identity at 'dead end,' attorney says
BY J. EDWARD MORENO - 06/12/20 05:06 PM EDT
An attorney representing Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said Friday the congressman has reached a “dead end” in his efforts to identify whoever is behind the parody Twitter accounts titled “Devin Nunes’ Cow” and “Devin Nunes’ Mom.”
Twitter has refused to disclose the names of the person or people operating the accounts, leading Nunes to file a lawsuit last year alleging he has been defamed on the platform by the two anonymous accounts as well as Republican political strategist Liz Mair.
Nunes’s attorney, Steven Biss, told The Fresno Bee that after Virginia Judge John Marshall opined that Twitter is not obligated to release the identities, finding out who they are so they can properly be served lawsuits is virtually impossible.
“We’re trying to figure out who they are, and we read the comments on Twitter, as painful as it is, we do that every day,” Biss said. “But we’re at a dead end.”
