Hunter Biden Sues Fox Over “Fictionalized” Miniseries

Mediaite reports:

Hunter Biden filed a lawsuit in New York City against Fox News on Sunday evening, alleging the network caused him targeted him “in an effort to harass, annoy, alarm, and humiliate him, and tarnish his reputation.” President Joe Biden’s son is suing over a six-part “mock trial” series called “The Trial of Hunter Biden,” a fictional program that included images of Hunter nude. The series premiered in late October 2022 and was promoted as a look at “how a possible Hunter Biden trial might look.”

The Washington Examiner reports:

The lawsuit fulfills a threat made by Biden’s lawyers that they would sue over the series, which the network took down in April. “Far from reporting on a newsworthy event, Fox sought to commercialize Mr. Biden’s personality through a form of treatment distinct from the dissemination of news or information,” the lawsuit notes. “Indeed, the entire miniseries is fictionalized and based on a nonexistent criminal case.”
