Hunter Biden drops lawsuit against Fox News — for the second time

Hunter Biden on Friday dropped a second lawsuit that accused the right-wing network of unlawfully airing sexually explicit images of him.

Hunter Biden on Friday dropped a lawsuit against Fox News that accused the right-wing network of unlawfully airing sexually explicit images of him. This is the second time Hunter Biden has filed and then voluntarily dismissed a lawsuit against Fox News. The cases stemmed from a 2022 digital miniseries that featured a dramatized “mock trial” against Hunter Biden about his overseas financial dealings. Lawyers for former President Joe Biden’s son claimed Fox News violated “revenge porn” laws and defamed him. They did not explain in court filings why they dropped the case, though they recently lost an effort to move the case from federal to New York state court. CNN has reached out to Hunter Biden’s lawyers seeking comment. In a statement sent to CNN, a Fox News Media spokesperson said, “We are pleased to move on now that Hunter Biden has finally voluntarily withdrawn this meritless case which proved to be nothing more than a politically motivated stunt.” The Fox series highlighted Hunter Biden’s lucrative business deals in Ukraine and China, which he pursued his father was vice president. It also delved into his admitted struggles with drug abuse and alcoholism. The program also featured some intimate images of Hunter Biden with various women, which appeared to originate from his infamous laptop.
