Friend,

On Friday, Ted wrote to tell you about a letter he received from Devin Nunes' lawyer threatening to sue him if we didn't apologize for saying Devin conspired with Lev Parnas to undermine our government (if you missed it, you can see his note below).

Well, Ted responded with a letter, and we want to make sure you didn't miss it:

"I welcome any lawsuit from your client and look forward to taking discovery of Congressman Nunes. Or, you can take your letter and shove it."

Ted won’t let Devin Nunes bully him. Devin Nunes is a threat to our country because of the ways he's conspired with Lev Parnas and Donald Trump to undermine our democracy.

Ted's never going to back down, but we need to show him we have his back. Will you chip in $100, $50, or $25 today so that Ted knows we're with him? <[link removed]>

Best,
Team Lieu

Subject: Devin Nunes wants to sue me





Friend,

A few weeks ago, I sent an email out to all of my supporters in which I wrote that Devin Nunes worked with Lev Parnas and conspired to undermine our own government. It's entirely true, the record backs me up, and I stand by every word. But Rep. Nunes is afraid of the truth, so he's threatened to sue me unless I retract and renunciate my statements and issue him a public apology.

Well, Devin, I’m not going to apologize because the truth is a defense. Bring it on. I look forward to deposing you in any lawsuit.

Will you donate $250, $100, or $50 today so we can show Devin that his bullying won't stop us? <[link removed]>

If the lawsuit moves forward, here are some facts we can discuss:

Phone records show that Devin Nunes spoke with Rudy Giuliani and Lev Parnas around the time that they were orchestrating the smear campaign against the former Ukrainian Ambassador, Marie Yovanovitch. Nunes denied ever having known Lev Parnas, but after Parnas' explosive tell-all interview with Rachel Maddow, he now admits that yes, they did speak.

Call records reveal further contact between Nunes and key figures in the Ukraine investigation, including one of Nunes' former staffers. Nunes also allegedly traveled to Vienna in 2018, where Lev Parnas' lawyer claims he met with corrupt former prosecutor Viktor Shokin for the purpose of supporting Trump’s conspiracy against the Biden's.

In the past, Devin Nunes has sued CNN, Hearst Magazines, the Fresno Bee, four of his own constituents, and a parody Twitter account. And since I may be next, I’m hoping you’ll chip in whatever you can today so we can elect representatives who spend more time fighting for working people, and less time suing members of Congress and conspiring to undermine our elections. <[link removed]>

Best,
Ted
