https://www.telos.news/p/devin-nunes-steven-biss-and-the-laptop
In the late summer of 2023, someone broke into the law firm of a well-known attorney in Charlottesville, Virginia, named Steven Biss. His office was allegedly ransacked, folders with Bisss documents went missing, and his laptop, which contained all of his client files, was gone, taken by an unknown person.
Considering Bisss client list, this was no small matter.
Biss not only represented Donald Trumps media company, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), which runs Truth Social, but also a network of MAGA luminaries who now populate the upper ranks of the Trump administration, including Kash Patel, the director of the FBI; Dan Bongino, the FBIs deputy director; and Devin Nunes, who was the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee and is now the CEO of TMTG and the chair of the Presidents Intelligence Advisory Board.
Bisss client files included a lot more than just the sensitive personal information of top Trump intelligence and law enforcement officials. In Bisss possession were also the sensitive secrets of some of the biggest media companies in the world.
Biss is best known for suing reporters and news organizations for defamation. Several of his high-profile cases reached the discovery phase, when thousands of pages of internal documents were produced by both his MAGA plaintiffs and the media defendants they sued, including CNN, The Washington Post, NBCUniversal, and Esquire, where I previously served as Chief Political Correspondent.
