Hunter Biden is threatening to sue Fox News. NBC News reports lawyers for Hunter Biden sent a letter to the network threatening to sue for defamation, exploitation of his image, and publication of hacked photographs.
The legal team is demanding corrections and on-air retractions to claims Hunter and President Biden were engaged in foreign bribery schemes. The claims stemmed from a former FBI informant who was ultimately indicted in February for making false statements about the Bidens to authorities. The letter also claims Fox’s airing of intimate images belonging to Hunter that his lawyers say were hacked, stolen, or manipulated violates Biden’s civil rights.
Much of the letter is focused on a six-part “mock trial” titled “The Trial of Hunter Biden” that aired on the network’s streaming platform.
