From the Daily Caller: Hunter Biden reignited legal action Tuesday against Fox News, accusing the media giant of illicitly showcasing explicit images of him in a streaming series.
Hunter filed the suit in Manhattan state court, mirroring allegations presented in a now-dropped July filing that the unauthorized spread of intimate images breaches New York’s revenge porn law, according to The Associated Press (AP). The allegations stem from “The Trial of Hunter Biden,” a Fox Nation series that dramatized a court proceeding against Hunter on fictitious charges, distinct from the real-life felony firearms convictions he faced.
The new filing includes a current and a former Fox executive as defendants, AP reported. Fox News responded, seeking to transfer the lawsuit to federal court and dismissed the claims as baseless.
“The core complaint stems from a 2022 streaming program that Mr. Biden did not complain about until sending a letter in late April 2024,” the Fox statement said, AP reported. “The program was removed within days of that letter, in an abundance of caution, but Hunter Biden is a public figure who has been the subject of multiple investigations and is now a convicted felon.”
The report explains that Hunter had originally dropped his lawsuit against Fox in July, just hours after his father had dropped out of his race for re-election.
In the new lawsuit, Hunter added 2 new defendants to the complaint: Viet Dinh, Fox’s ex-Legal Officer, and Jason Klarman, Fox’s Digital Officer.
