The court disagreed. U.S. District Judge C.J. Williams, a Donald Trump appointee, dismissed the suit in August 2020, finding that nothing in the 2018 article harmed Nunes directly and that Nunes never actually denied Lizza's implication that NuStar used undocumented labor. A successful appeal to the Eighth Circuit revived the case in September 2021 with NuStar joining in as a plaintiff. The truth is an absolute defense in such cases. The fact that apparently Nunes didn't dispute the truth of the allegation in either this original hearing or the appeal is a pretty bad sign.

It is.

I agree. And it’s a pretty bad look that Truth Social’s CEO employs illegals. Donald Trump’s hiring has been his weakness despite him hosting “The Apprentice.”
