Hunter Biden Drops Defamation Suit Against Fox

Hunter Biden has dropped his defamation lawsuit against Fox News over its fictional miniseries 'The Trial of Hunter Biden,' which depicted a dramatized court proceeding involving him. The decision came just hours after President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. The lawsuit, filed in July, accused Fox News of defamation and violating New York's revenge porn law by using intimate images of Hunter Biden without his consent. Fox News described the lawsuit as 'politically motivated' and 'devoid of merit.' The miniseries, which aired in 2022, claimed to show how a trial involving Hunter Biden might look, using real emails and images but disclaiming that it was fictional. The reasons for the lawsuit's withdrawal remain unclear as Hunter Biden's legal team has not commented.
