Washington (CNN)A feud between two California lawmakers spilled into the public recently, with one alleging conspiracy and the other threatening legal action.

Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu in December accused Republican Rep. Devin Nunes of conspiring with Lev Parnas, an associate of President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and a key figure in the Ukraine scandal at the center of Trump's impeachment, to undermine the US government. A lawyer for Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, then threatened legal action if Lieu doesn't apologize.

On Friday, Lieu tweeted the first page of a December 31 letter from Nunes' attorney, Steven Biss, threatening to sue to protect his client's reputation.

Lieu included his curt response: "I welcome any lawsuit from your client and look forward to taking discovery of Congressman Nunes," Lieu wrote in a reply letter dated January 16. "Or, you can take your letter and shove it."
