Hunter Biden Drops Second Lawsuit Against Fox News

Hunter Biden has voluntarily dismissed a lawsuit against Fox News for the second time, which accused the network of airing explicit images of him in a 2022 miniseries that scrutinized his overseas financial dealings. The lawsuit, which claimed Fox violated "revenge porn" laws and defamed him, was dropped "with prejudice," preventing him from refiling the case. Fox News described the lawsuit as a politically motivated stunt and expressed relief at moving on. Legal setbacks, including a court ruling denying Hunter's motion to remand and the potential for Fox News to seek costs and fees under New York's anti-SLAPP law, influenced the dismissal. The miniseries had originally been removed from Fox Nation after Hunter threatened legal action, and it covered his business activities in Ukraine and China as well as his struggles with addiction. Despite Hunter Biden's recent convictions on federal gun and tax charges, the Fox miniseries depicted allegations not officially proven, and Hunter's legal team did not provide an explanation for dropping the case.
