This spring, after receiving a number of federal warnings about a series of accounting errors, the campaign committee for Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) embarked on a financial reckoning.
As a result of that reckoning, the campaign has now had to correct a slew of reports, and two of Nunes affiliated committees removed his treasurerhis momas their government contact.
But over the last few months, Nunes mother, Toni Nunes, has filed a confounding series of financial disclosures. The reports attempt to correct an array of accounting errors and oversights, some dating back to 2004, and because the errors carry over from one accounting period to the next, all subsequent filings were also incorrectmeaning the California Republicans books have been off for 17 years.

In 2019, Nunes, a voracious litigant, cited his mom in two lawsuits. One was a $77.5 million civil action filed in an Iowa district court charging Esquire and journalist Ryan Lizza with defamation for a report that suggested the Nunes clan had tried to hide the use of undocumented labor at their Iowa dairy farm. A judge tossed the lawsuit the next year.
A separate $250 million defamation suit filed that same year in Henrico County, VA, targeted an array of defendants, including an anonymous parody Twitter account called @DevinNunesMom, who according to the complaint falsely impersonated Nunes mother, and created and maintained an account on Twitter (@DevinNunesMom) for the sole purpose of attacking, defaming, disparaging and demeaning Nunes.
The complaint cited tweets calling Nunes a Putin shill and a treasonous shitbag, and demanded the court unveil the human entity behind the parody account. A judge tossed the lawsuit this summer.

I hate that little shit-weasel. I'd like nothing more than to see him lose his election and have to be an actual farmer. He wouldn't last one week.
