A Virginia judge has requested Twitter reveal who is behind anonymous parody accounts that have mocked Republican Rep. Devin Nunes.

Judge John Marshall is considering whether to dismiss the lawsuit brought by Nunes on the grounds that it should not have been filed in Virginia, according to McClatchy.

The people who run the two anonymous accounts said they have never lived in Virginia and the social media company is based in San Francisco.

Earlier this year, the California lawmaker sued Twitter, two parody accounts known as "Devin Nunes’ Cow" and "Devin Nunes’ Mom," and Republican strategist Liz Mair. Nunes alleges Twitter allowed the accounts to defame him. Their followers have grown substantially since he sued.

Marshall asked the social media company to reveal the names and addresses of the authors behind two parody accounts, the gross amount of revenue for Twitter in 2018 and this first half of this year, and the number of Twitter accounts in Virginia.

The information Marshall asked Twitter to turn over was requested by Nunes’ lawyer through discovery motions. The judge it would be kept under seal.

It’s unclear if Twitter plans to turn over the information. A spokesman for Twitter said, “Defending and respecting the user’s voice is one of our core values at Twitter. This value is a two-part commitment to freedom of expression and privacy.” But the company did not say whether that meant it would not disclose the requested information.
