Hunter Biden drops lawsuit against Fox News over explicit images in streaming series
Hunter Biden has dropped a lawsuit accusing Fox News of illegally publishing explicit images of him as part of a streaming series.
The lawsuit involved images shown in The Trial of Hunter Biden, which debuted on the streaming service Fox Nation in 2022. The series features a “mock trial” of Hunter Biden on charges that he has not faced and includes images of him in the nude and engaged in sex acts, according to the lawsuit.
The complaint claimed that the dissemination of intimate images without his consent violated New York’s so-called revenge porn law.
Fox News described the lawsuit as “entirely politically motivated” and “devoid of merit” when it was filed. A Fox News spokesperson referred to that statement when asked for additional comment on Monday.
The programme was removed from Fox Nation’s streaming platform in late April, days after Biden’s lawyers sent a letter to Fox making that demand, according to the lawsuit.
The dismissal notice was filed the same day that President Biden dropped out of the 2024 race for the White House, upending the contest less than four months before the election.
