​

Court records show that the lawsuit was filed in March for civil rights violations, intentional infliction of emotional distress, sexual harassment, retaliation and other allegations.

An email from Alpha Omega spokeswoman Kelly Carter to Snopes stated that Nunes is an investor in the winery.

“The only time Alpha Omega did business in Russia was in 2013 when a broker handled a one-time transaction for 22 cases of wine.

“Rep. Devin Nunes is one of a few friends Alpha Omega managing partner Robin Baggett invited to invest in the winery in 2005. None of the investors has ever been involved with the management of the company.  Robin is the sole managing partner and ultimate decision maker at Alpha Omega.   Robin has made a point to never mix politics with the business of Alpha Omega. Our business model is simple: grow great grapes, make great wine, hire great people and provide our customers with a great experience.”
