Hunter Biden sues Fox News over miniseries

Hunter Biden has sued Fox News over a miniseries it published and then took down from its subscriber streaming service Fox Nation.

In a lawsuit filed Monday in the Supreme Court of New York, Biden's attorneys allege Fox targeted the president's son "in an effort to harass, annoy, alarm, and humiliate him, and tarnish his reputation."

"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 reads. "While using certain true information, the series intentionally manipulates the facts,
distorts the truth, narrates happenings out of context, and invents dialogue intended to entertain."

Biden's attorneys first threatened to sue the conservative media behemoth over the series in April, at which point the outlet unpublished the docuseries from the streaming service.

“This program was produced in and has been available since 2022,” the network said at the time. “We are reviewing the concerns that have just been raised and — out of an abundance of caution in the interim — have taken it down.”
