Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) filed a $150 million lawsuit Monday against The McClatchy Company and 2 others, alleging they interfered with his investigations into reported Russian interference in the 2016 elections and Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Details: The lawsuit, first reported by Fox News, comes one day after the House Intelligence Committee ranking member told the network he would send 8 criminal referrals to the Justice Department this week concerning allegations of misconduct by federal authorities during the Russia probe.


The big picture: Nunes is also suing Twitter for "shadow-banning” him and other conservatives users.

The latest: McClatchy said in a statement on Tuesday: "The lawsuit represents a baseless attack on local journalism and a free press."
