"News, sports & analysis" website "The California Republican," paid for by Nunes campaign...

[Miles Archer]

A Republican lawmaker from California has been reportedly operating his own news website.

Politico reported that “GOP memo author” Rep. Devin Nunes and his campaign were behind The California Republican, a website that calls itself a “media/news company” in its Facebook description and claims to have “the best of U.S., California and Central Valley news, sports and analysis.” According to Politico, however, the website was registered by Alex Tavlian of Sultana Media, which was paid $7,773 by the Nunes campaign for “advertising; digital advertising management.”

Tavlian told Politico he did not run the website and was not familiar with it.

The California Republican, who is chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and was a member of President Donald Trump’s transition team, has been offline since the Politico report, but a version cached by Google contained the following disclaimer:

2. The site was down by 9:00pm last night. Due to a server

attack, that was fast.
