- Journalist Matt Taibbi on Thursday released the 14th installment of the “Twitter Files,” showing how congressional Democrats tried to discredit a report by then-California Rep. Devin Nunes regarding the federal government’s Trump-Russia investigation.
- Emails show how the lawmakers crafted and pushed a narrative claiming Russian bots were responsible for bolstering claims in the report by Nunes, who at the time was chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
- The report criticized the federal government’s so-call Russia-Trump 2016 presidential campaign collusion probe.
- The lawmakers pushed the narrative, despite Twitter telling them the Kremlin had no involvement in the issue.
