Hunter Biden Sues Fox News Over Miniseries, Alleging Revenge Porn and Defamation
  • Hunter Biden, son of President Biden, has filed a lawsuit against Fox News over their fictional miniseries 'The Trial of Hunter Biden.'

  • The miniseries depicted Hunter Biden in a mock trial for illegal lobbying and bribery charges.

  • The lawsuit alleges that the program included sexually explicit images from Biden's laptop, violating New York's revenge porn laws.

  • Biden, recently convicted of federal gun charges, is seeking punitive damages for harm to his reputation.

  • Fox News has defended the program as protected by the First Amendment and removed it from their platform, though promotional materials remain online.

  • The network has called the lawsuit politically motivated, citing Biden's criminal record.

  • Biden's attorneys have compared the series to Fox News' coverage of the 2020 election results, which led to a defamation settlement with Dominion Voting Systems.
